kingfisher rope

[Steve Bullman]

anyone tried this rope from the boating industry? i stopped at a new chandlers today to buy some marlow and they had stopped selling it in preference for the kingfisher. im trying out an 8mm poly double braid for hitch cord.

Got a picture Steve, maybe send me a sample?

 

I will pay of course.

no picture....looks pretty much the same as the marlow.....weave feels slightly looser. i'll give it a go tomorrow and send you a length to try if its any good

Donagheys have just released new hitch rope called armor-prus. a blend of spectra, technora and poly (i think). Ive been climbing on it for about 2 weeks and it seems to be better than beeline and ocean poly. high heat resistance(not too high so that you burn ya climbing line), really supple and knots real nicely. Not sure if its available in UK but if it is its worth trying. Easy to splice as well.
