    Thanks guys. I needed some reassurance that I was doing the right thing. Been in the bucket mostly since I posted so it might just take me a while to break in.

    Breaking in a new rope?

    I just recently switched to a hitch climber system from a standard split tail and am having problems getting my distel to hold. I'm using armorpruss on blue moon. Both new. I find myself having to put an extra wrap on top to keep it from sliding. Could my eye to eye be to long or just...
