Sterling HTP 9mm Opinions

[StealthBushwhacker]

I'm thinking of getting some Sterling HTP. Is it good? How durable is it? Does the sheath snake?

[StealthBushwhacker]

Anyone?

Those were the 8mm. Are you trying to say that all Sterling rope has had poor quality sewing, and to avoid their products in general? What would you recommend instead? The appeal to me is a) The gri-gri 2 accepts that diameter rope, and b) It's light enough to hike into my climb sites, usually deep in the forest. I have also heard good things about it's construction and the way it "stiffens up".

 

Thanks!

perfect for exploration missions from what i hear from a few friend that have used it. not really a working line as too thin for everyday use and not legal in most countries for that use.If you like it then awesome

No just a heads up that's all.

 

I'm not saying anything, Sterling issued the warning.

Been using sterling HTP in 10 for several years as an access line great stuff in my opinion. Need to replace mine soon was thinking beal dynastat to be different or another sterling HTP.

9mm should be fine, depending on how you use and inspect it. Out of interest how are you using the gri gri 2?

Noob question: By "working line" you mean occupational, right?

I have a RADS/yo-yo system set up with the petzl ascension and a footloop. Rope comes down from tree, goes through ascension (which is attached to my harness via webbing), through gri-gri (attached to harness via locking carabiner), and back through a pulley attached to the ascension. Then to get down I remove the ascension. If this isn't safe, I would gladly reform it.
