curtveld Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I need to replace the cord on my old Friends and I’ve read 5-6 mm perlon or Kevlar cord is the thing. Any comments on what works best and where to buy it in Seattle – preferably somewhere that carries a bunch of colors. Quote
Blake Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I reslung some old TCUs with 6mm cord, then taped over the tails on the double-fisherman knots so they wouldn't snag. I also chose to make it a "double loop" so i can clip the doubled loop of about 7" or extend it to 2X that and often get by without another sling. Metolius only reslings their own cams Other usefull links. http://www.climerware.com/resling.shtml http://www.yatesgear.com/climbing/slings/Reslingcams.htm http://www.mtntools.com/cat/rclimb/cams/mt_camresling.htm Quote
curtveld Posted February 1, 2006 Author Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) Good stuff - thanks. Though the resewing option is pretty reasonable, I think I'll do the double retie myself. Edited February 1, 2006 by curtveld Quote
curtveld Posted February 3, 2006 Author Posted February 3, 2006 What shops in Seattle stock lots of cordage - besides the empiREI? Quote
