Marlow Aeris blue & yellow 11mm 1 splice | F R Jones and Son

 

 

getting new rope soon and wanting one with an eye in as my current rope ahs none is this rope good with HC set up cheers phil

 

Do you usually climb on 11mm? Only thing I can think of is you may need a thinner eye-to-eye if you have been climbing on a 13mm rope with a 10mm hitch

aeris is a thin line with a smooth cover, very light, tightly braided, slightly stiff, not the most knot-able of ropes, a PITA to splice so its factory splice or nothing.

 

many people find it hard to grip, its relatively tight & stiff and pretty much as thin as it gets, if you use your pantin allot then its less of an issue. Some people take a while to dial in a hitch on aeris & describe it as little slick/slippy but i know allot of SJ users love it, it really flies through mechanical devices!

 

doubles up as a pretty good access line, unsurprisingly being that it's basically LSK with a smoother cover, very popular choice for a lanyard line, is good SRT or Ddrt if your preference fits, but its just that preference.

Do you not find that the 8mm bites and binds too much? I've just bought a 10mm ocean eye2eye for my 13mm XTC rope as I didn't get on with 8mm ocean eye2eye
