Hi all,

If anyone reading this is a fairhead local with a abseil rope they wouldn't mind lending to a careful climber please get in touch. Our virtually new edelrid static rope had some major sheath slipping issues today and I have no intention of getting back on it again. I will be posting in more detail about that in future as a warning to others perhaps.

Thanks
Shane

Sent you a pm but I'm not particularly local I'm afraid.

Thanks Aly that's very kind but it's seems a bit far to do an almost 4 hour round trip to get a rope. Anyone in Belfast or north of?

Thanks

Shane

Now sorted. Bought one from Belfast.

Probably more for the other thread you mentioned putting up, but did you condition your ab rope before first using it? Sheath slippage is a well known problem in a low-stretch rope that hasn't been pre-soaked before use, and this will manifest itself more severely on a long rope length.
