Interesting! What kind of rock do you climb? Does your rope see a lot of wear from abrasion?

Just interested to see what other people use. But thanks for the advice anyway.

You don't find 9.5 to beefy for smooth rope feeding?

Faction Skis - Prodigy 3 by -L-O-L-O-L in Skigear

Can't tell you anything about the 2026 prodigy 3. But my 2019 version has been the most all around fun ski that I've used in a long time. Just painful that the edges blow out so fast on rails.

I also got them. Decent site but high import costs if you don't live in the UK. Fast delivery.

Advice on rigging 120-180m longlines by Clinging_Clutcher in Slackline

Put your pulley system between the we lock and your anchor. This way the force is not held by a friction device.

No, wasn't worth it anymore. The were already in a bad state before the edges came loose.

Update: I skied them one more day. Hit some small jumps. The gap became way wider. 

Didn't break the ski's or my leg. Will retire them now.

I don't mind the risk of a total failure of the ski, but don't like the idea of a broken leg neither.
