.......lemme know if you think youd wanna sell a 80-100'er... I need a new murdering rope

Yeah, the trees of Cape Cod live in fear of Murderer Andre. Little do they know what a tree loving softy he really is ;-)

...ropes are only 80-100'ers...

Yeah, most of mine are 75' or 100' ropes. I have some 150' ones, for MRS. The only 200' climb line I have that is not a rigging rope has never been used.

I'll probably just cut it in half.

Just got done with the 1st round of milking 600 ft of Poison Ivy..I sure like climbing on these new poly/poly double braids but milking 300-600 ft sucks balls....

One a side note I can already tell that the Ivy is gonna be a tougher, longer wearing rope than the Marlow Vega.. Whether it climbs and feels as good as the Vega is yet to be determined....

 

[JeffGu]

I would think you'd be used to that, by now... milking all those goats... especially the rams... you should have a grip like iron.

I'm sure you'll like the Poison Ivy. It's always been a nice rope, in any of the color schemes. Of course, I've never climbed on more than 150' of it... I suppose they all get bouncier when you're climbing on half a mile of it.

I had a test climb on it this morning with about 200 ft out and I didn't experience any bounce. I can see why so many love the Ivy lines....

How do you go about milking yours? Doin that much rope, I'm sure you have a process down better then mine

 

[rico]

Nothing special..A prussic, a caribiner, and a lot of pulling hard. Milked 15-16 ft of cover on the first round which isn't too bad for 600 ft. I milked that much off the Vega on the 1st pass but it was only 300 ft. The Vega took 3-4 strong milking to get it to settle in, but I think the Ivy will settle in after 2 passes....

I can now sleep at night as this beauty arrived. Cheers to @MSmith for the link, but also sorry for no stickers . Thanks for the comments and good luck @rico with milking 600' of nippleless rope!
P.s. gotta love rope handling instructions.

Hows the bounce on Scandere?

Hows the bounce on Scandere?

Both of my climbers who use it every day say it has very little bounce. That’s on a 200’ hank though, i have no idea what 600’ would be like!

 

[TreeVB]

Hows the bounce on Scandere?

Quite static so very little to no bounce from what I remember. I'll rec. climb it on Sunday and report back. The outer sheath has a different feel, like a rock climbing rope, but you can tell it's static at the same time.

...milking 600' of nippleless rope!

If he offers you a glass of fresh goat milk, just tell him you're allergic. All of his goats are rams.
I must admit, though... they seem awfully fond of him.

That’s exactly what I thought when I first saw it! It’s identical in feel and appearance to what I used to use to hang off cliffs, before I came to my senses (had my appendix removed and lost a season of climbing) and started climbing only trees.

Sound advice and I'll write that one down (do not accept the goat milk from rico).

Can someone please explain to me what a murdering rope is?

A murdering rope is meant to be used in conjunction with this:

Your Ivy has 1.4% elongation at 10% of tensile. Scandere has 3%. Ivy is like 6500 Tensile and scandere is 7100 so minor difference there. Xstatic is still my favorite!

 

[JeffGu]

So, now you know the elongation at 650 lbs. and 710 lbs. respectively. Very useful if you're going to have 3 guys climb the rope at the same time. I wish the OEMs would all give the elongation at 300 lbs. instead. Only a couple of them do, though.

 

[oldoakman]

For me that 1.6% difference is noticable.
