Friction rope for Yale XTC ?

[WeeDee]

Thanks guys,

 

I'll probably have a go at the Silverstreak and knot it in that case - i'm watching the pennies and the OP eye to eye is £33

The link above (if I've linked correctly) is less than £33.

Might help, might not.

Do you climb on a ropeguide or cambium saver stig? I would personally get something heat resistant if you are not just using a natural crotch. Ive ruined silverstreak in one climb before..

 

VT on pulley saver, point noted.

Yes, most definately if you scroll down to this one Ocean polyester 8mm 80cm eye2eye Prussic for Tree Surgery Arborist Climbing | eBay

 

Many thanks guys, looks like OP then.

OP, AP or Beeline. Beeline is a good combination of cheap and long lasting. I personally think AP is the best, I dont get on with OP. Running it on a ropeguide or cambium saver I don't think it lasts long enough... The 8mm beeline seems to last longer than the 10mm beeline too. I think they have different ratios of heat resistant to non heat resistant fibres in the cover.
