I've been looking at replacing my 1/2" flipline. Its sorta small in the hand, and with the mechanical adjuster, it doesn't release under load.
The trees I climb aren't usually too pitchy, few pines, grand firs, etc. I want a thicker flipline. I have a 5/8's at Parks, which has been nice to use, the little climbing that I've been able to do with it. I was window shopping and saw 3/4", and thought, wow, that looks easy on the hands. The problem is that it means getting a Macrograb, which isn't oriented with the 90* twist, its heavy, expensive, bulky, and doesn't release under load.
I was thinking of a 3/4" with a hitch adjuster.
There are the Maxi-flips with the flemish spliced eye. Is this necessary with a swivel connector to prevent flex fatigue?
The Maxi-flip sport is lighter. Does this just mean less cable as a lifeline?
