Semi-static / LSK recommendations

(1/3) > >>

mrjonathanr:
Semi-static / LSK recommendations please, something suitable for a 100m abseil that doesn’t weigh too much, is reasonably durable and not too stiff after a bit of use.

I thought the Peztl Club 10mm looked ok: https://www.petzl.com/GB/en/Sport/Ropes/CLUB-200-10-mm

and English Braids Tutus 10.5 seems pretty good value: https://englishbraids.com/tutus-static

If any more knowledgeable folks have any suggestions and experience of use and longevity, that would be great. Thanks.

Herbrides?

Much of a muchness from the ropes I've used. We destroyed one rope (that I got end of a reel from Heightec) a few years back. Sent it back and they couldn't see any issue with it. End the end we decided it must have been sharp belay devices (Petzl Reverso is known for getting quite sharp from running in guide mode a lot).

So....moral is - check your belay device.

mrjonathanr:
Thanks, I will!

Gogarth, but hopefully it'll last a few years so..maybe..

Worked a fair bit with the tutus lately and got no complaints, which is good.

 Stiffens a bit but nothing too crazy, it turns into a twisty nghtmare of snakes fighting spaghetti monsters if you don't take precautionary steps and a bit of care (judging by ropes provided by some outfits) but it's fine if you do (judging by the new set i claimed for myself remaining sane for several weeks of use).

Not overtly heavy either.

On the light front, i have a 9mm Edelrid performance that i really like. Goes somewhat stiff with use but that's a good thing on a skinny rope to help avoid tangles. They do a canyoneering version which will probably replace my vintage old one when it's time to retire https://www.alpinetrek.co.uk/edelrid-pintail-lite-9-mm-static-rope/

mrjonathanr:
thanks. Beal Industrie looks a good workhorse rope too.
