New climbing rope

[Cuttup]

After a new rope. Has anyone tried or have an opinion on Stein Utility ACR 12.4 mm compared with say, Marlow Vega 11.7? I don't climb every day and tend to favour DRT.

 

Cheers

 

PS if this thread already exists can somebody please direct me to it - I can't find it

I've used both but preferred the Marlow out of the 2. There are better ropes out there than both of them though.

How would you say better? Handling/knotability/longevity. I've been using New England but fancy a change.

[Mack]

Nicer feel in the hand for the most part, and knotability. Can't comment on longevity as I discarded the above 2 in favour of my existing ropes.

New England is good stuff but im more a fan of Yale cordage. The blue tongue or its variants are amongst the nicest ropes i've used for double rope technique

[Cuttup]

Alright nice one. I'll give it some thought.

Yale blue tongue is a nice rope that’s what I use on a zigzag
