New Rope Suggestions

[DisasterIRL]

First post on here, long time lurker. Been climbing for about a year now and I was a groundie before that for roughly a year. I have learned off my boss and been gradually doing more and more over the last year. Currently taking up the climber roll on the majority of jobs. Nice to meet you all

 

During my climbing I've mainly been using 13mm Yale XTC Blaze with 8mm OP in a hitch climber set up. Rope is a bit shorter than it was in the beginning and minus and eye, so time for a replacement as we don't have any backups ATM.

 

I have used my bosses Spider Jack with Poison Ivy and it's nice but not really for me. I found the rope too thin and prefer the simplicity and the ergonomics of the Hitch Climber.

 

So ideally I'd want something that would suit all the above. Would considering going to a smaller size rope, but perhaps not down as far as the 11mms.

 

Ordering from here so suggestions would be great

Consider the Imori 12mm as it sounds like it should fit my needs or perhaps some Hedera 13mm too

Blue tongue would be my choice.

But really decide what diameter and just work accordingly.

Personally I prefer Yale rope and tbh so do most

Most 11mm rope seem like 11 mm and once you get upto 11.7 they seem to feel fatter

But always seem to buy a rope I like colour wise haha

Poison HiVee 11.7mm should work well for you.

Have you considered a ZigZag? Just a mechanical HC system.
