I ordered a 120' hank of Lava RopeBoss from SherrillTree.
I've been climbing on it a lot, and I have to say that I really like the rope. I'm using a piece of Safety Blue Hi-Vee for a split tail SRT. I'm climbing up to about 30-35' taking a single rap on a biner(sort of like a munter), and zipping down to the ground to see how the rope handles it. Honestly I can't tell I've used the rope, there's no glazing at all, not even on the blake's hitch, it barely gets warm, even the biner stays pretty cool. So all's good there.
I also got one of those Caterpillar cambium savers, and I like it too, it's easy to set, easy to retrieve, and the rope runs through it real nice with no damage to the crotch. So ditto on that.
I was thinking about cutting off about 14' feet to make an adjustable buckstrap, but decided to measure the rope before I cut it to make sure it was actually 120', but it turns out it's only 114'.
I'm sort of up in the air on whether or not to call SherrillTree about it, as I'm not too awfully concerned with the 6' of rope, but then again I'd don't want a 100' rope after I cut off 14', and I did paid for 120'. I don't really want to have to send my rope back though, because I LIKE IT!
Maybe I can get them to send me 14' of something I can make a buckstrap from to make up for the shortage?
