Yeah im trying to work things out..and see what there going to do about itDid you send them a pic?
Right. I dont either. This is ridiculousThanks for sharing. I never liked that rope, now I have another reason.
Yeah its bullshit. This looks like something i would do. Not knowing what im doing.Kinda like you got a bonus "bag o rope" full of whipping twine!
I dont want to get stuck with a rope like this. So im hoping there going to do something about itUnfortunately, that is the official splice for Dragonfly. It is the only approved splice for Dragonfly, according to Gap Arborist.
Funny story, I have had a hank of Dragonfly sitting around a while, I just had it spliced and picked it up this morning and found the same thing you did - it’s a huge splice that won’t fit through a small ring. I had planned to use it on the crane, but that won’t be happening now - it won’t fit through my tie in.
It is ridiculous, for sure. I’ve decided to relegate mine to possible SRT use and likely natural crotch DdRT until it’s worn out and I can replace it with something better. Unfortunate because I like the feel of the rope, and the colors, but if it won’t work for what I need, it’s not worth much. Hopefully you can get a refund/replacement or something out of it.Right.

Yeah same here i like the rope feel and all that. But if there going to be putting a splice on it looking like that i dont want it. Yeah id reather get some more samson vortex cool. Since i just got a hank of hot. Then ill having matching lanyards for both hanks.It is ridiculous, for sure.

Check out Blue Craze aka Cherry Bomb as well, if you like the look and feel of the Dragonfly. I’ve been climbing on it for near ten years now and I’ve been very happy with it. It’s low stretch, seems to be durable enough for reasonable DdRT climbing, and quite thin, about the same as the Dragonfly diameter.Yeah same here i like the rope feel and all that.

Not sure about dragonfly, but fly was one of the best natural rigging ropes I have ever owned...It is ridiculous, for sure.

Yeah both ends spliced..came out to like 189.00. Im hoping they will just let me return it. But idk if they will or notThe long fraps look like an easy snag, not the best looking, but if tapering is gradual would be safe to use. Did you get both ends spliced?
I wasn’t able to get the covered buried in this, so the cover is whipped to the outside, unbraiding the cover tail along the back up to the core allows it to be spread out and not be so pronounced.
