I don't need one, but I want one.
Looking at their website, they say the 53 ton is the same weight as the 45 ton with just a 1/4" less lift, for just a few bucks more. I'm guessing you just wanted the most powerful jack?

How did you like that rope? I bought some a couple of months ago but have not tried it out yet. Seemed like a good price and very low stretch.

What shiny, luminescent new rope, I can’t see it.
Seemed good, but I've got less than an hour on it, so can't say much yet.
Feels a lot like Teufelberger Xstatic which I like, and I was interested in something a little smaller than that (11.5 v 11.7). Also, it was surprisingly cheap, so thought I'd give it a try.
Fat rope, picks easy and although 100% milked, gets fucking mushy. I own 3 hanks diff colors. Geez. Doubt it will be a fav. Thankfully I have some black KM3max .....and hyperclimb to round things off. Plus some confetti2.
The more I use the Hyperclimb, the more I like it. A fantastic rope that ticks most, if not all, the boxes for me.

As cheap as it is, that sounds too good to be true...

Been on Hyperclimb most of this year. Have a lot of new ones to try, but I have not been wanting to give it up to experiment with others when I have work to do. Didn't get much rec climbing in this summer or I would have played with others. Hyperclimb is cheap and, like Rico said, hits all the right spots for me. Not overly crazy about the two colors Samson offers, but you can find other colors if you shop around. Liking my lime green I got from Bartlett.

Just ordered some Screamers. Thanks.
I have recently gotten back on my htp, which I really like a lot with a Hitchhiker. For throw-line set lines, especially, Screamers and super static ropes seem like they can be good friends.

I'm mostly on 11mm htp, I really like it works well with my rrp and camp giant and hh.
For various reason I find myself taking small tops much more frequently then I did when I was younger. More cautious as i have gotten older. In way less of a hurry and understand that it will get done when it gets done. Also understand that sometimes worrying down a tree can be just as quick, or quicker, than bombing big tops and logs. Lack of consistent ground support...
Took small 10-12 ft top at around 190 ft because my ground support was less than stellar.

Do you catch and lower for yourself much?

Found the new guys gloves. Amazed they stayed for a 15 mile drive.
As the quality of my ground support has diminished over the last few years I have found myself running my own ropes more often, and simply breaking trees down in smaller pieces. Makes for a little more work on my end, but they often end up being calmer, less stressful climbs. Go figure?
Agree 100%. Very durable.
