I want to improve my climbing rig

[sgreanbeans]

Chill out

Easy, getting out of hand here. Jedi, think about who you are talking about, in other words, consider who you are talking too. Dont get pulled in, give them the advice they ask for, if you wish, correct them when they are wrong but refrain from the bashing, it gets so clouded that, if more reports are given, all involved will get hit. Like I said on the other thread, High Road. Those who continue to ask Q's and argue with the answer will step on their own..............foot and it will be handled. That Rep button goes both ways, use it. Makes things easier.

Things like this get out of hand, and it's time to put an end to it before someone looses their temper.

Don't you watch the news?

What do you mean?

That rep system is a joke. If you get red you just go to one of the off topic threads and get it back up in 10 mins. I cant beleave someone reported any posts in this thread. What a bunch of cry babys. Funny how this guy shows up when another one leaves.


Carb, you never answered my question of how have you been doing tree work and never bought a Arborist rope? How long you been doing tree work?

I asked about the rep, seems there is a glitch that they are working on. I was curious how someone with 3-4 post's is maxed out, so I asked. They are aware and working the issue. When you neg rep someone, it cost pionts, after so many, it is picked up and put on notice on the mod forum, not exactly sure how it works, but it is something like that. I'm still a newb, so I am still learning the...........ropes:msp_biggrin: It also lets mods know something is going on with the individual, (calls attetention to them) and we can monitor the poster

Ok, thanks for explaining it. So we should put detailed info I the detail area to help mods?

Do you have a update on the progress of fixxing the advaced photo upload error?

Yeah, put a line or two when ya neg rep them in the comments. I don't know about the photo error, whats the problem?

You get a black box when you try to attach a pic. I am posting from my phone so I can't link to it, but I started a thread in support forum about it. Mrs arborsite said the webmaster is working on it.

Honestly we do not want to see pics of an plus sized adult with a Amish beard on Space Mountain.

 

[2treeornot2tree]

Why you gotta be like that. Your gonna hurt my feelings. Wait I guess I would have to have them in the first place. Lol

 

[VA-Sawyer]

OK, so just use the Neg Rep button for Carby, will do. Only problem is I can only do it once before I have to spread the rep around.

Clueless,
No, actually I talk much nicer to my dog, but then he is a lot smarter than you are, and knows when to listen. Also, he doesn't try to act smarter than he is, cause he has a CLUE!

You are such a joke here. You will never learn anything because you argue with everyone that trys to help you. I won't ever make the mistake of trying to help you again. As for how I learned....... I know when to shut my mouth and listen to folks that know more than me.
Rick

Which is never, because you already know it aaaallll.

 

[Carburetorless]

Carbie, it's defamation of character. If you're gonna threaten to sue someone, at least make a threat with real legal terms.

And oh by the way......you have to have character to begin with, in order for it to be defamed. So defamation of character doesn't really apply to you.

Now don't get mad at me for "deprivation of suit".

I'll let my lawyer do the spell check from now on.

Carb- while you will be able to tie knots with the samples you receive from Sherril, it will not be the same as tying them when you are putting your weight into it. Don't base your decision on that. Everybody has their own opinion about climbing ropes. I've climbed on Safety Blue for years and like it. I know there are other ropes out there and I have tried many of them. In the end, if it keeps my ass from falling out of the tree, its a good rope. As you said, "It's not rocket science."

He don't care. He is like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory.

I tried to get SherrillTree to let me in their factory, but it was like trying to go level 7 at the Pentagon, and I don't have a golden ticket.

I think your maybe just spinning your wheel some, and thats why your catching flack. There is a lot of choices for climbing rope. I bet most guys have started on safty blue, I used it for years my self. You need a comparison point to be able to judge what rope is better suited for what you do. You can't go wrong with safty blue. I have reasons why it doesn't suit me any more, but I didn't even know what those reasons were when I used it. It's good basic rope.
I doubt you would be able to appreciate the subtle differences any why of the the various ropes, and a two foot sample is useless. That's not a slander but an observation.
I have help and trained a lot of climbers in my day and always start them out with safty blue, and as they advance they can experiment with other ropes and technics.
I use a lot of blaze, but others who I let try it thinks it sucks. I like 11mm lines and might go smaller, others will only use 1/2 in and don't fill comfortable with 11mm. You need a hell of grip to pull your self up a 11mm line.
Rope isn't expensive and should be regularly replaced. Get some safty blue and later you can find out for your self about other lines.
I think your getting way ahead of your self. Trying to give advice to some one about climbing lines who doesn't understand the hows and whys is like describing the color blue to a blind man.
Buy your self some safety blue, use it, know it, then come back and ask your questions, you'll understand the answers better.

I called a local tree service, and they said they were using 1/2 in Hi-Vee Orange/White, he said it was a great rope that he's been climbing on for years, and has always liked it. I like the idea of a big solid line.

If I'm not mistaken, Hi-Vee, Ultra-Vee, and Safety Blue are the same line, only with different colors. Is this correct?

 

[pdqdl]

All the arborist ropes would qualify as "solid". For any given rope size, How tight they are wrapped, what color they are, how they are constructed (double braid, 16-strand, etc), what material they are made with, and what coatings they might have are what makes each of them different from the rest.

Focus on learning the construction and materials that each rope is made with, ignore the colors, and you will end up knowing what you like. Go to each manufacturers website, and they will tell you everything about each rope, as well as it's performance statistics. Stuff like breaking strength and elongation.

Yes basically the same.

I have been a working climber since 1991 and have climbed on Safety Blue more than any other line. I spent my first year climbing on True Blue then switched to Safety Blue. I climbed primarily on that line up until about 5 years ago when I started climbing on PI. I still climb on Safety Blue occasionally. Especially when I am climbing in dirty, muddy conditions and want to save my PI line. I am about to order another 150' hank of SB for my new climber in training. Not only is it great climbing line, but it also makes a Jim Dandy rigging line and can be used as such when retired from climbing.
