What are you buying rope for? Rappelling, tether, linemans belt, bridge, stick mod?
Yes I need all of the above execpt Stick mod.
When ordering I would like them to add the eye's at the end of the ropes. Im still trying to understand what ropes need the 5" loop and what roops need a tight loop. I have (2) ropeman #1 so I need 10mm or larger rope for them.
It would be great to have a list of leangh, size and how to set up your rope ends for each rope. That would help us noobs!!!
So far I have the following
- Ropeman #1 Qty-2
- (5/16") Prusik Loop Pre-Sewn 18 inches Qty-1
- Big Wall Traverse - Carabiners - Qty-3
- Black Diamond Neutrino Carabiner Qty-1
- Sit-drag

I would be more concerned with backing up the sit-drag than buying a prusik cord to back up the ropeman. Some of us that use minimalist saddles like the sit-drag also use a rock climbing harness(commonly called rch), which is rated for climbing/falling. Your tether will have a big loop on the end that goes around the tree, so you can pass the ropeman and carabiner through it. The other end should have a carabiner to attach to your rock climbing harness(rch). IF your ropeman fails, you are still connected to the tether.
Or you'll be hanging facing away from the tree with no easy way to right yourself.Well, from what I've seen with my harnesses, you rock climbing harness hooks up at waist level in front of you ( same as your bridge) where as your safety harness hooks up behind your shoulders.
If you have to rely on your harness, which is your Fail-Safe, you're going to do quite a drop before the strap on your safety harness grabs you, proceeding to fling you face-first into the tree like a pendulum.
Plus I think it might get in your way going over your shoulder and attaching to the tree in front of you.
I would personally recommend going with the rock climbing harness.
