Tendon Rope, Fixe biners, Viamont curved nuts aok? 28-Jul-2006 At 2:40:37 PM hotgemini

I've been fortunate enough to buy two each of five different makes/models of 10-10.5mm dynamic ropes in the last 9 months including two tendon 10.2mm x 60m ropes, one of the tendons is currently what I've been climbing on and I'm really quite pleased with it. It handles nice enough, it seem seems to be wearing well.

My only complaint would be that it seems that the two yellow strands (its primarily red/white with two yellow strands, its name is red october, its sister rope is strawberries and cream which I think is a far better name for a rope, and yes they all have names) are not as tightly woven as all the other strands (which seems really odd) and as such when it does get some abrasion on the yellow strand it tends to 'pick up' the entire strand rather than just abrading the outer fibres giving a little tiny (0.25-0.5mm high) loop which you can feel as a slight bump as it passes through your belay hand.

Would happily buy them again, climbing anchors service was prompt, friendly and efficient.
