How well does 5/8 rope work in Maasdam?

[Nutball]

Just curious what your experiences are. What kind of 5/8" rope did you try, and did it fit? did it slip a lot or a little?

I can’t see 5/8” fitting. It’s sometimes finicky getting 1/2” thru.

I’ve used several braids, etc with it, but found 1/2” Treemaster to be the best. I’ve tried a couple of other 1/2” 3-strands, but Treemaster is firmer/harder than the others and works the best. I don’t know that the Maasdam is built anywhere near strong enough to make use of the strength of 5/8” rope.

You'll want a tapered end if you try.
