HTP question

[ARLO]

Does anyone have any experience using this 9mm HTP for climbing line?

It works great with the RADS system to access trees, and I had some luck with a 8mm hitch cord grabbing the rope well today (while staying low and slow of course). I'm hoping to see if a rope wrench can add enough friction to the system on a single line.

The rope is so light that it's great to stuff into a backpack for hike-in rec climbs. But it sure would be fun to be able to be more versatile than just moving up and down the rope in the tree.

My suggestion would be a basal anchor for SRT. I have one made out of 10mm HTP and it works fine. It consists of an aluminum eye that is tied into one end with a Scaffold Knot and a 6-coil prusik loop (8 mm) that slides along the rope so you can adjust the anchor for length. Be sure to tie a back-up knot just below the prusik just in case it decides it wants to slip (I have never had this happen, but I still always use the back-up).
