Just got a new climbing rope and it already paid for itself
I spent about $250 on a 150-foot static line from Sterling last week, mainly for big limb walks on a silver maple removal. On the first day using it, the old rope I had as a backup got a nasty core shot from a sharp stub I missed. The new line held firm with no damage at all, which kept me safe and saved the job from a big delay. Has anyone else had a piece of gear step up like that right out of the box?
