@@WesSpurTreeEquipment That was super quick! Thanks! Can you ask him this: I already use Xstatic for access only, then switch to Tachyon from a high top anchor to work the tree using MRS w/ Tachyon (Some SRT from top anchor as well). Does that change his recommendation? (my Tachyon was damaged so looking to replace it with the same or Drenaline)
@@cberthiaume93 I checked with Dave, and there aren't any we know of that cover 11.7mm. It's in the hole between descenders that run 7/16" and 1/2". Using anything outside of mfg specs would be iffy, and in case of an incident, would be used to indicate improper use. Sorry we couldn't turn anything up!
Hey there, KM III max is not on the list of ropes approved for the Akimbo. You can see the list of all the approved ropes here: www.rockexotica.com/media/wysiwyg/rockexotica/product/akimbo/approved_ropes.pdf or the ones we sell no our site here: www.wesspur.com/ascenders/akimbo.html Stay safe!
What's the best possible rope for the Rope Runner Pro? Preferably a little stretch and something that stays round.
Drenaline is my favorite climbing rope by far!
Seeing the three side by side along with your great explanations really helped me decide which one I'm gonna get! Thanks!
Can the Blake hitch work with the drenaline? If I wanted to go ascend old school?
It would not be the best combination of technology and technique. Stay safe!
I bought some drenaline and I'm new to using ropes. Is there anything you do to condition or break in a new rope?
Excellent. Any thoughts on the Tachyon? Trying to decide between the Tachyon and Drenaline. Thanks!
I'll ping Dave and see if he has spent time on Tachyon. Stay tuned!
Dave says between the two, he would prefer to use Drenaline. Stay safe out htere!

Dendraline is mech only. Said by a company rep. It will milk like hell. What do you climb on?
Will a D4 still work with the xstatic even though its slightly out of range? Thanks
Hey there, we can't recommend you use any safety gear outside of the manufacturer specs. Stay safe!
@@WesSpurTreeEquipment thanks for the quick reply, are there any descenders that you can recommend that do fit the 11.7 size?
@@cberthiaume93 I will check into that for you and get back to you!

@@WesSpurTreeEquipment no worries, I appreciate you checking

He vomited even thinking of using a rope wrench on the KMIII max.
