Rope ladder at Global
Rope ladder at Global
does anyone else think it was a really bad idea to use a dynamic rope to make a rope ladder? i think it needs to be cut down and replaced with a static rope. thanks for all the effort, it looks great, but really sucks in practice.

I agree, good idea, bad implentation. That whole area has changed alot over the last few years. Needs some trail work for sure.ynp1 wrote:does anyone else think it was a really bad idea to use a dynamic rope to make a rope ladder? i think it needs to be cut down and replaced with a static rope. thanks for all the effort, it looks great, but really sucks in practice.

Perhaps next time I am going there I will. Since I had not been there in a year or so, I didn't know to bring any trail building materials/equipment with me. Not sure when I, personally, will go back, so I thought it might be good to bring up. So that way, perhaps someone else will think to bring something with them if they happen to be heading that way.corduroy wrote:then you go change it

yeah i have been going up there a lot lately. i really like the place so i would not mind helping out.
i think the ladder now sure just be cut down. you may want to use some of its parts to make the new one. you could also just hang a static rope down the rock with a bunch of knots in it. then you could easily just hand-over-hand and walk up the rock.
