Pictures with Yale ropes

This might be interesting to some. I was asked to post this question so here we go:

Anyone have any "from the field" type photos with Yale lines? They are looking to put them in a catalog or flyer. Thought some of you might jump on the chance to have your mug in the artwork ;0)
 
I'd like to help but I've never used a rope manufacured by Yale Cordage. They need to know these things too. Am I correct by saying so?

Guess what I realized yesterday.....

So here I was getting things ready to snap a couple shot for Yale. I had my red XTC flipline and my Yale Cordage UULS Friction Hitch, then...damn- my climbing line is NOT made by Yale. I didn't even have one made by them, nor do I know anyone around here who does! I don't think they'd be too pumped about printing photos of people using OTHER rope!
Anyone have a not-too-old Yale climbing line I could borrow for a while? I think JPS has a green "apple rope" he wants to let me use!

Re: Guess what I realized yesterday.....

I've seen and heard of dozens of guys climbing on spearmint and peppermint. Heck, Robert Phillips lives on the stuff. Tony Sacket and Chad Brey like it too. Anyone want to make it into the catalog needs to act fast. It's coming up soon.
 
Joe, this is exactly what we need !! Feedback from the field. Have you ever tried it? Why don't you climb on it now? Some say its hard to get. Do you ask for it at your local dealer? As for Pictures, we are always looking for the candid shots....

Thanks, and I'd give you contacts for Yale ropes if you're interested. Let me know.

Tom, of course they count. Everyone started somewhere..... right ? Although I'm certain there are many commercial users out there that climb and lower on Yale, the recreational market is huge as well. You might recall Sergio from Italy who is very fond of Yale took picture of the family out for a Sunday climb. Fantastic shots.

I am also looking for the different ways in which the lines are being used, advanced rigging vs. traditional. Every little bit helps. All participants will get something for their efforts.

If you have a picture and want to send it off to me I am at jgoddard@yalecordage.com

Thanks for all the feedback.

Regards,

Hi, Jamie;

2 factors stop me from using Yale ropes: 1) availability 2) The decision of rope use and choice hasn't been mine exclusively. The reason for the "I" statement in the initial post is I do have the ability to make a choice as to what ropes I use to climb and rig. To date I have been reasonably satisfied with what I use.

The technical support of Yale Cordage is good.

Availability of Yale is a bit tougher....

......but one must persevere!

I found out a week ago the Aerial Equipment(.com) just special ordered a rope that is similar to XTC except it is blue and yellow. I am excited to try it out. I've been using an XTC flipline that I made a while back and it's been just that....Ecstacy!
I'll let you all know how it goes after I get it.

I climbed on a new rope from samson today I think it is called the acsender. It is very simular to yellowjacket.
 
Hi, Jamie;

The initial topic of this thread requests pictures of climber's in action using Yale ropes. I deviated from the general topic to let other's know that not every1 uses Yale products. I am deviating from the general topic again and would like to show you, a Yale representative, what you can do to sway me as an individual to use Yale products. Perhaps, even sway others to use Yale products.

For awhile now, I have had a greater need to get a better perspective of distance. I need ropes that are clearly marked every 10' that can be viewed from a distance. Example: 10' green rope, 10' red rope, 10' green rope, 10' red rope... or use yellow and blue. Using ropes marked as described would give me quite an edge if colored in this nature. Giving your customers an edge sells more rope, correct? Then I as an individual who can make a choice would be foolish not to buy Yale products since Yale has a product nobody else can give to there customers and clientele. How realistic is this request?

Joe
 
Joe, if you need something like this it can be done. HOWEVER, it would be in the form of getting an all white rope (XTC White) and using Yale Maxijacket to color coordinate your distance. Place an 18 inch color band every 10 feet as you say. We use this feature in mooring systems for boats as they need to know how much line is paid out for the depth they are in. In a way kind of what you are looking for. This would be the only "realistic" cost effective way of doing it without being a total manufacturing nightmare.

All the best,

Jamie
 
Hi, Jamie;

I'd like to learn how to make your suggestion work for me. Will you please describe how this can be done? Can I do this with rigging lines of different diameters and how well will this proceedure resist the abuse of tree work?

Thank you for the reply and suggestion.
