what rope would be the best for climbing!?

comparing workability with price and so on

basicly im in need of a new rope as my gecko has "vanished", and now i'm seeking advice from all you well weathered climbers out there.

Virtually anything you climb on will be a luxury compared to gecko :D if your after a 1/2inch rope then Yale XTC (XTC fire seems nicer than the other xtc ropes) or Samson arbormaster are good.

 

I like my 12mm new england Tachyon yet rarely use it, most of the time i'll climb with my 45m elderid 12mm.

Lumberjack, until recently i have allways climbed on Yale XTC and XTC+ but have just recently bought a 40 meter and 5 meter edelrid x-perience 12mm line from Rob at treeworker.co.uk and in my opinion the edelrid is streets ahead of the yale. But then again i allways managed just fine with the yale before hand.

 

When i was in your position a few weeks ago i gave Rob at treeworker a ring and picked his brains for 30mins on all sorts of gear, he's a very honest helpful bloke. I ended up buying the lines and a few different bits and pieces including an ART rope guide, now that is a seriously s*it hot bit of kit! well worth the money.

 

And i have experienced no milking with the edelrid, which the yale allways used to do.
