10mm Hitch Cord on 11.7 Rope

[Bewarethemoon]

As the title indicates I'm looking for a bit of advice on using 10mm hitch cord on 11.7 rope as apposed to 8mm. My thinking is that it may last longer and dissipate heat a little better?

In my experience 10mm is pants mate, doesn't hold aswell as 8mm

It glazes up just the Same as the 8mm and is harder to rewrap once it does so

Only climb on 10mm myself cannot stand 8mm to small in hand, gets hotter and often binds to tight. Currently gone back to the cheapest poly stuff I can find.

 

Each to their own, try 10mm you might like it, it's the beauty of the Hitch over mechanicals many possibilities and tuneable.

Marlow 8mm polyester double braid is still the best hitch cord I have used...cheap as chips too
