Guess the rope

[Crimsonking]

Who can tell me what line this is? Thin jacket, some bounce.

10-11mm

That looks like New England APEX dynamic climbing rope. It comes in 10mm, 10.5mm and 11mm sizes. From the color (eggplant), I'd guess it is the 11mm version. Also sold under the Teufelberger and Maxim names.

Thanks, Jeff! I'm considering it for a bridge replacement, and the rest may end up as lanyards. Still not sure. I have around 40' of it.

I agree, Mac. I'd love to have it hanging from my saddle every day. Why aren't tree ropes this pretty yet? Aside from your purple line- still jealous.

Bounce = junk....well toooooo much

 

[JeffGu]

Try it for your needs... you might be surprised. Here's another odd one for you.. pic looks too yellow because of the cheap camera, cardboard backdrop and shitty lighting... it's very bright red, actually. Half-inch, 48-strand, static rescue kernmantle with a tensile strength up close to 10k lbs. and 100% nylon construction. It has no more bounce on ascent/descent than any of the arborist ropes I have, but if you shock load it, you can feel the stretch! Unfortunetly, I don't think it can be hand spliced.

You got some strange one's Crimson

 

[Crimsonking]

That sounds cool. So you've climbed on it, then? Where did you find it?

 

[Crimsonking]

Swing- the second rope is Jeff's. Mine came from a SherrillTree box of rope. I'm looking forward to seeing how it works as a lanyard. I'll use a chafe sleeve on it because of the thinner jacket; not my favorite thing, but oh well.

 

[JeffGu]

Where did you find it?

I have a friend who buys a lot of end of roll cuts, etc. from the rope OEMs and sells them on feeBay. He gave me three hanks of it (57', 43' and 37') the longer of which I have indeed climbed on. The pic is the shortest hank, the other two I use for descent lines on ham radio tower/antenna work.

My current lanyard is 12mm kernmaster...treestuff put my favorite ISC double locking snap....sewn eyes for termination....have had it for over 2 years...that and a 10.5 platinum one same style....last for ever...but I have many spliced new ones sitting around..prob 6

When they come up with a 12-step program for that, we'll both be in rehab together.
