Yeah Marc, seriously months. If you pm me your address I can send you some to try if you want? You can repay me with pics of the work you do. just keep posting them

 

or if you get any in the future, return a bit or get me a beer if we ever meet at a show.

heat resistant/technical friction cords will always burn your ropes faster especially if used with a friction saver but will need replacing less frequently. i like the o.p. 10ml and climb on blaze/velocity 11ml most of the time. just need to think about this if you have a tendency for 'hot dogging' [rapelling] the line at high speed. descending slowly can take alot of will-power but'll save you some whip in the long run. still love o.p. despite the cordage its cost me over the years!

I believe the CE rating is getting organised. I think it was to do with the core material not being polyester- ocean Polyester was called Ocean Dyneema in an earlier age when it was used for Americas Cup racing boats, the core was changed (and the name) and it became what it is today. Im pretty sure this correct and is what will happen with the AP to get it CE certified

I use OP 8mm for a distel on my side strop. It works fine and has lasted me months and is still going strong. Originally I had it tied as a VT but I retied it with the same piece of cord and was amazed to find next to no wear on the contact side. Think perhaps I might change it(for more OP) some time soon though.

I had some OP and did the same as Rich. Gave it away to a mate. Couldn't be bothered waiting for it to bed in and went back to Bee'line. Would defo try the AP if anyone has some kicking about in exchange for beer at shows!!
