Standard life line ropes are 30'. The extra five foot of rope here allows flexibility to hang a stand in those trees that are larger than normal and stay connected from the ground up & back. And, the same goes for the sets that you need to hang just a little higher to avoid the highly sensitive nose of whitetails. Excellent quality at a fair price.

ROPE: This rope came with my Millennium M100U Treestand. It is a static climbing line. Diameter is about 11.5mm. Length is 35ft.The rope gets a 1 star deduct for having the loop tied with an overhand knot in the climbing line, it should be tied with a figure 8 knot. And the prusik should have been tied with a double fisherman's knot. That being said I'm buying another just for the rope/climbing line.PURPOSE of this PRODUCT: The intended use for this Safety-line is for climbing up and down a ladder and if you were to fall the prusik would grab the rope and hold you. The prusik needs to be tended, set and dressed and an eye kept on it to make sure it remains set and dressed for it to work properly. So when they say this is "used to ascend and descend the rope" they are talking about going up and down a ladder.Prusik loop: I do NOT use the Prusik knot/loop nor carabiner that came with it. I did test the Prusik loop and tied correctly, and dressed and set, it works perfectly.Instead of the Prusik loop one might try a mechanical rope grab like the Petzl Rescucender or the Petzl ASAP, or the Camp Lift, etc... Remember the rope grab, whether it is a prusik or a mechanical need to be tested low and slow before climbing with them. Also consider how well the rope grab would work on a wet rope or an icy rope. Do your homework. Prusiks need to be dressed and set to work properly even in the best conditions. Always dress, set, then test the prusik to make sure it grabs.I use the climbing line with a Petzl Rig Descender when I rappel/descend out of my stand. Works real well. I put the Petzl Rig in lock mode when I am in the tree and when I am swinging out of the stand to descend. After I have all my weight on the rope and am hanging in my climbing saddle (New Tribe Onyx Arborist Saddle) then I lower myself down, descend, to release the ratchet strap that holds the bottom of the stand. I just drop the ratchet strap to the ground. Then I tie the tail of my rope, this rope, to the stand (Millinium M100U). I then pick up the stand and remove it from its mount and lower it to the ground with the tail of my rope. Then I rappel down on this nice climbing line using the Petzl Rig Descender. This rope works beautifully for this. It is a quality rope. I don't use the black prusik.THE CARABINER: I don't use the carabiner, although it seems pretty good. I use a quality aluminum tree/rock climbing carabiners - Ultra O Tactical Black by DMM.Most awesome way to hunt for me so far has been the Millennium M100U hang on stand. I don't use a ladder or steps. I literally ascend and descend with this Rope.Does anyone know the brand of rope? I'm looking to buy more. I have climbing line put they are all over 100' long. This 35' rope is the right color and length of static climbing line/rope for my hang on treestand. I wish they they would have used a figure 8 to tied the eye loop instead of the cheesy overhand knot. Anyway, I'm buying another of these.AS FAR AS A SAFETY SETUP: If I was rigging this up for my children (and they are grown men) I would use the Petzl I'D Descender with this rope. The Petzl I'd Descender is fool proof, panic proof. Study and practice everything with a ladder within arms reach at your house. Start low and slow. Know your stuff.BE ROPE SMART: Don't just use a prusik loop unless you know what you're doing. Even then a prusik loop/knot isn't a way to descend on a single static line, unless your climbing down a ladder. Double line technique when you know how to rig it up, then yes. But this rope is presented here as a Single Rope Technique. Spend some time learning the ropes BEFORE you tie yourself into a tree.For me, the BIG consideration is, IF you fall from a tree and you cannot climb back up, how are you going to get down? Have a plan. Have a foot loop and an ascender, way to climb up, so you can take the pressure off of your groin area, and reach your prusik, or Camp Lift, to work your way back down or up. Practice. Think through all the scenarios, your life may depend upon it.

As in the other review I agree the prussic knot slides far too easily on rope. First time I put it in a tree the knot started to free slide down the rope. If I hadn't grabbed it it might have slid too the bottom of the tree. If you pull the prussic knot real tight it stays put. But when you loosen the knot slightly it will freely slide down the rope. I will not return because I have found a fix for now and I am hoping that as the rope weathers the knot will start to hold on its own. I would not recommend buying this safety system.. Buy the "other brand" which works perfectly. Hunter Safety System.

Very good safety line but the knot slides down the line too freely while climbing.
