I should also note, I dont do much SRT anymore, although I will be on monday, got a 90+ft tulip im climbing for another company, prolly going to SRT up it and DRT the rest, huge limb walks to tip tie and lift limbs

UPDATE: still got the uni and akimbo, also bought a Zigzag plus the ZZ+ rides on my 200ft Sterling Scion 11.5 (spliced) akimbo and uni are on my 180ish ft drenaline (no splice) tried a Chicane out on my zigzag/scion combo at a climbing party a while back and its a great setup, once I quit buying...

ive got probably 3 months on my drenaline, not washed but has had many many trips through white pine and rain, lots of sap and water scrubbing it lol I weight 130 pounds currently, 150-160 with gear or a big saw ive heard DrenaLine gets this spots rather quick, ive noticed mine has some of those...

logging in for the first time in a long time I bought a Unicender first since I found one in a store local, ran it for a few months then got an akimo, yet to get a zigzag the unicender is more reliable by far, only once had it slip and I think that was due to sap (lots of it) getting into the...

smells like fish to me

my washing machine gets so much random stuff through it, there is no telling what fabric softeners etc would leech into the rope, tis why I think bathtub could use a coarse sponge + warm water to scrape off the pitch?

I think I will go the tub and woolite route having zero experience with woolite, anything specific to look for? i.e "delicates"?

will do what is your preferred method? ive heard of people flaking it into a bathtub, and using a light soap to wash it, what soap? would dawn dish soap be too harsh?

as has been said, not a new rope, was given to me used, and ive put months of natty crotch on it since getting it, any coating that may have been on there from the factory is long since gone but ill wash it anyways and see

almost all the use is natty crotch, even in hickory, its got a good fuzz on the first 75ft or so, which is about all I use daily, rarely I need more than 130ft

the rope was given to me, used but like new (yes, I inspected it before use, and its worked fine for many months), it doesnt feel like it has a coating of any sort, but I will wash it soon and see if that helps, cant hurt, just no fabric softener

although ive never washed it, im not typically in pitchy or nasty trees, worst its ever been was a little climb in the rain

its surprisingly clean, too clean

will do, Gary, thanks

im going to have a zz for a few days, I might stick my homemade wrench on it and see how it goes, if its good then thats probably the setup I'll get I like the ZZ because the high amount of friction points spreading the "grip" out, so if one is in a thin spot or pitch it shouldnt matter so...

id say a typical day for me is 6-7 hours standing on spurs, with no good TIP, frequently upside down

teen (not giving exact age) quite fit, not a body builder but can do pullups, 120# about 130-135# with gear, make that 140# with a saw, and a variety, spars, spreading, I do it all lol here is a few of my recent jobs (the images arent the same sizes so excuse formatting)

this has been a thought, support bingham (spelling?) and not the petzl ropewrench ripoff

I wasnt having the best day, slept on it, gonna have some coffee, and shut my mouth I need to work on being less of an ass, I didnt think it'd be this hard lol
