Coldfinger Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Have a Beal Stinger, bought in '06, that is now REALLY creaky when lowering, guess it's time to retire, and no the whole thing creaks, not just the middle mark. Just wondering if washing it will do any good or what the deal is. Quote
Coldfinger Posted April 29, 2011 Author Posted April 29, 2011 That's what got it creaking...... Quote
Coldfinger Posted April 29, 2011 Author Posted April 29, 2011 You are a good test weight! BTW still sore from the lashing you gave on my other rope choice....... Quote
Dane Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Lashing? Geezus..suck it up and get a longer rope I can borrow next time Quote
Coldfinger Posted April 29, 2011 Author Posted April 29, 2011 Latest beta is to wash the rope, might try that! One of these days I'll be sponsored and get a 70m bicolor rope! In the meantime...... Quote
Le Piston Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Is it the blue Stinger? That is one of my all time favorite alpine ropes! Quote
Coldfinger Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 Nope it's the orange, washed it with the Sterling stuff and it looks great, we'll see if it still creaks. Just something I haven't seen before but might be natural with a Goldendry rope? Quote
Coldfinger Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 Hey, remember I did like the color! Shoot, should have won an audience award for all the comments we got. Nice shot of it in your blog I recall...... Stinger is orange too, we'll see....... Quote
