Questions
About the rope
What is it made of?
A 24-strand polyester outside over a 12-strand braided core, which sits over a twisted center core.
How does it handle?
The ropes offer high visibility and are twisted for consistent firmness and easier climbing. They keep their round shape under the most stressful circumstances, run smoothly through mechanical devices and can be spliced.
Climbing technique
What are SRS and MRS?
Stationary Rope System (SRS), also called Single Rope Technique, means ascending and descending while the rope stays stationary in the system. More gear is required, but the ascent will be faster.
Moving Rope System (MRS), also called Doubled Rope Technique, is a rope system that moves while a climber is also in motion.
SRS is more common for taller trees, 300 feet or more, and MRS is generally for trees up to 100 feet. Climbers should pick the technique based on the work and the height of the tree.
Which technique is better for a beginner?
Moving Rope System (MRS) is generally preferred by beginners because it is safer. There are pros and cons to both systems.
Strength and ordering
Can I get it with an eye on the end?
Yes. Choose a 120, 150 or 200 ft length with a spliced eye.
