Cousin Atrax Rope

[BigRig]

Just wondered if any of you guys have been using the Cousin Atrax 11.6 mm rope and how it performs.

It’s been around for quite a few years! I think we started (when I ran the company) to import Cousin in around 1999. The rope looked very similar to Yale XTC+ but it used to ‘milk’ a fair bit. I haven’t seen in a while on my LOLER Inspections

I've been using for a few months on ddrt. Found it to be really nice, low stretch, great with ascenders, doesn't milk, splice fits through mechanical devices easily and is nice and soft in the hand. Only trade off is it seems to frey fairly easily
