RuMR Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 the other day i was surfing and found a rope that passed certs for half, twin and single rope tests...I can't for the life of me recall which rope it was... anyone know which one it is??? Dru??? Quote
Dru Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Useless "functionality". You could buy a lighter half or twin, and it'll get trashed fast if you use it as a single. Just like those amphibious cars - not very good boats, and slow and gas-guzzling on the highway. Quote
chriss Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 I remember seeing an ad, I think it was Bluewater, that said they had a rope that would pass the 1 and 1/2 tests. It did not mention the twin. This is impressive in itself. Getting it to pass all 3 tests... chris Quote
RuMR Posted September 24, 2004 Author Posted September 24, 2004 you are right...it is bluewater and i made a mistake...it only passed the single and double not twin... Quote
ashw_justin Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 How could it possibly not pass for a twin if it passes for a single? Or even as just a 1/2? Quote
RuMR Posted September 24, 2004 Author Posted September 24, 2004 too high of an impact force w/ both strands clipped... Quote

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Go piss up a Blue Water Dominator, mudflap. Quote
RuMR Posted September 25, 2004 Author Posted September 25, 2004 i don't think they can even rate a rope for your fat ass, bitch!! They tried it with one weight equivalent to a DFA and it broke the friggin' rig! Quote
chriss Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 (edited) http://www.alaskamountaineering.com/Product.cfm?id=694 Beal Joker 9.1mm (not on Beal site) I think this is quite an advancement in rope making. It seems they are working to get a more predictable force verus stretch performance from the material and/or design. Just barely passed the single rope test though. chris (edit to fix link) Edited October 11, 2004 by chriss Quote
