Best cord for a Prussik loop?

[Arran Turner]

What you folks think the best cord is for climbing on an English Prussik? using new England hi vi as my main line. currently on armor pruss but me thinks its a bit thin?!?

I like Marlow rope. It’s well spun, tightly woven, glossy, colourful and efficient.

Chessa you have a beautiful way with words.

This does not mean i want to hold hands or talk into the wee hours of the morning about philosophical merits of chauser.

 Marlowe rope is a terrible thing, used by people who don't know any better.

 

I'm still bitter after a failed splicing attempt years ago. Those bastards just had to be unique in their construction.

 

Glad you enjoy it though...

 You gone back to a prussik mate? Why!?

 

Armour pruss do a 10mm cord which should be perfect. Can't imagine you'll find anything better.

10mm is best in my opinion on 13mm rope the Marlow Boa is only 9mm, that 1mm makes a difference, that's what I tell my Mrs anyhow ?
