yeh me too....

 

please elaborate tom!

 

I climb with what i guess is the Ford of climbing ropes...the Yale XTC. Good all rounder with a decent price. Can't fault it at all. I might try the Imori (sp?) next time to see if a slightly smaller diameter makes a difference.

[jamesd]

Thanks for the replies guys! As i was aware the new england hi-vee was a very popular rope. Yale ropes seem to be very popular as well but what is the main difference between blaze,fire and xtc? they all seem very popular what are your views on these?

 

Cheers, James.

I got XTC magma-ice

 

I THINK XTC plus, fire and ice are all the same XTC ropes in construction with different names and different colours

[monkey boy]

diffrent grades of rope like xtc is 16 strand blaze is 24 strand makes a big diffrence to ur climbing hitch which ever you go for:laugh1:

Posion ivy is very good although i don't think its going to have the life span of the yale xtc's. Its already starting to become fluffy?? But saying that its superb in the hand.
