9.5 mm? This is tree work. Are you sure you want to be messing around with that?
Yeah, yeah if you can't catch my drift then you haven't been at it long enough... sure as hell not long enough to wear out that little rope.

don't think anyone is using 9.5 dynamic line for tree work. at least I hope not....
loads of AS folks may also be climbing something else besides trees :greenchainsaw:
it's good to get the word out ...

Fortunately for the tree-folk, this recall will not affect 99.9% of us. This is directed mostly at rock climbers.
It is quite responsible of NER to take the extra step and notify us via the message boards just in case. Tree guys don't use dynamic rope, but some of us are rock climbers, too. I wouldn't have heard about this recall otherwise.
Thanks, NER!
