ok i am lost why are you try to set one up. from my experience setting up slack lines you can tension a static line with a z drag and a grigri or with some prussiks. really easy and only have like 1m or so sag out of 15 or 20 meter line. (this was when we wanted to try and balance a rope rather than tape). as for buying rope you can buy blue water rope 11.2 mm for like $5 a meter and that is one of the dearest brands.
another way of treversing which i like is to set up a fixed line. then have another one 5 meters longer then just hang on the fixed line then run a abseil device down the longer line and then once you reach the lowest point of the treverse prusik back up the other side on the longer line, the advantage is you decent onto the line is controlled and if the treverse is long or steep going back up is easier and not just hand over hand work.
it also doesn't matter then if you have 10 meters of sag or one it works the same. also have an extra line of safety. |
