Cory I put some retired climbing 1/2 safety blue lines in trees to pull them. And as I wanted a comfortable ride down tried my (earlier) Akimbo leaving the settings as they were for use with Tacyon. Worked great. (Flip line was around stems for life support.)
Great post Jaime. If you're ever bored with inventing and want to teach other inventors how to go through the process and have people pulling for you the whole way you have a lot to offer in that area as well.
I'm surprised the change caught on so quickly. Seems it might not need to happen again. MRS makes sense because it distinguishes double rope from double rope where both legs are stationary (some people are climbing on that, as I understand it.)
Tachyon runs great for me. Accept I switched to a new rope the other day and it crept some. Adjusted it and was frustrated by added friction.
Then I read a Rico post about washing a new rope and getting it to no longer creep in a mechanical - yet to try it.
I don't use mine in pitch a lot but did recently get in a little sapped up with fir pitch. I tried wiping in down with grime boss or some such handwipes that a poison oak/ivy specialist recommended for wiping off the active irritant oils there. No luck. It worked but took too much effort...
If a person wanted wear resistance on aluminum the hard coating that David Driver spect on the X Rigging Rings is pretty incredible. You have to run muddy ropes to sand/wear through it from what I have seen and heard.
Maybe premium model Akimbos could have that one day.
