in answer to your question, go for a splice every day of the week & i wold have said gecko is as good as any other 13mm line but would be intreeged to know what it is about gecko they dont like? especially when they say the Yale (a v.similar rope in the field) is better? Out of the 100's of clients i loler inspect i can't say i've had one that has ever used/bought gecko slate it.

 

It’s like bungee cord, even after a years use, to much wasted energy IMO
