Also, according to this diagram http://www.marlowropes.com/public/pa...fm?page_id=250 they put a tag on the end of the rope near the splice, that would have to be a PITA, does it get stuck in crotches when you are pulling your rope out? If that was on the end of my line it would get stuck 100% of the time in palm heads.
the marlows still have not arrived yet but have climbed with the yale ropes before and never had any problems with them at least not on the Angiosperms that i have climbed, but they can get stuck on some of the Gymnosperms mostly sitka causes probs , not so much of a prob with Gymnosperms such as Pinus sylvestris, i like this place people actually talk to you makes a change. oh yes for got to say that anyone in the uk i got my ropes from http://www.abbeypro.co.uk/ i was ?55 for a 25m 13 mm sewn eye rope and ? 70 for a 35m 13mm sewn eye rope, and ?12 for 4x 9mm at 1.8m each this included vat and postage prity good price i thought if you stay in the uk it might be worth your while looking them up they are less price than some other suppliers i have delt with and very helpful, no i do not work for them, thanx for replying ekka great place to be when haave spare time, just thought i would the real name is joe the alba is the old word for scotland.
