Seems like everyone is using canyon IV?? I know it’s half the weight of what I have. Thinking of ordering some…
Yea, lots have used it here. It’s a stiffer rope, but solid for most everything we could want to do on it. Good for rope climbing, tethers, linemans belts, etc. Because of the stiffness it tends to be more bulky. It will soften up (be less stiff) but I would still consider it on the stiffer side of the ropes I have tried. I appreciate the stiffness in my tethers when I’m 2 tether climbing because it makes progressing the tethers easier.I have this. Anyone else have experience with it?
3/8 Static - Olive Drab – Atwood Rope MFG
Very low stretch. 9.5mm diameter, 5450Lbs breaking strength. This rope hates water. Will not absorb it! Loves you! Proudly made in the USAatwoodrope.com
One thing to considers is if you have tied a scaffold knot on to a delta Link or something similar, consider switching ends of the rope. Continuous use in this standard configuration that many use for rappelling will increase the wear on the rope. If you switch ends you’ll get more life out of the rope with confidence.I use canyon IV used it for 2 years now just wondering when i should replace it How often do you guys replace yours
