not too high melting though-the op cord glazed my blaze up. and just because it isnt melting doesnt mean it isnt getting damaged by the heat. cheap is good though but not too cheap as you are tied into it.

hell yeah i used some crappy stuff and on a long decent went all the way through the outer core by the time i got to the ground!!!!

i use op at the minuite and love it, i never come down to fast any ways and if its a loooong decent ill get my figure 8 out:001_cool:

i use op 8mm. but find its not grate with the a vt. it tends to hold its shape. and then the vt dosnt lock, not so grate when you are at the end of a branch. thinking of trying some onther stuff. from (http://www.wesspur.com/rope/bulk-prusik-cord.html) £12 to post. but the cord is under half the price to he. good old USA.

8 mm roblon is my favourite,I find liros glazes to easily but is a nice supple cord and found ocean poly not that great for anything!

chuck it in the wash mate and itll come up nice again....and its not too expensive anyway. and i think its the best hitch cord available.
