PELICAN ROPE  1/2" - Rig Master™ 3 Strand Composite Rope

Great Price

Tom H.
Quality as good as any other rope I've used. I have climbed trees for over 20 years. This rope works well for climbing, rigging, or pulling trees. I prefer a braided nylon for climbing (knot will allow faster descent then the twisted), however this rope surprised me how well it allowed descent. For the price, I will be ordering more..
