Rope choice with Petal ZigZag

[tomcorke]

Hello

 

I've recently got a zigzag and have a 13mm Marlow Ghecko rope

 

It is tight to get through, even though they say you can use them with 13mm rope

 

Just wondering what other people use and how it fairs?

 

Thanks in advanced

Bluetongue all the way for me, lasting very well.

I use 11mm which feeds well but kills hands after a few climbs.

Next rope will be Yale imori which is 12mm or blue tongue which is 11.7mm

11.7 mm blue tongue, self tends really well

[Gray git]

Don't go for imori for a zigzag, excellent rope for grip and feel but won't self tend very wel because for the bumpy construction of the outer sheath, it's was my main rope for the hitch climber but changed not long after getting the zz.

I have tecion for a side strop in my zillion and thats fine so fancy trying that as my next main line.

+1 Yale blue tongue

blue tongue, poison ivy...anything in that 11.7mm bracket is fine

I'm using imori and find it tends fine after a few feet, but haven't compared it to any others

Nothing wrong with it jon and it's actually my favourite rope in years but found the bluetongue just runs that little bit sweeter, might swap back tomorrow for a play and compare.

ive gota say i use imori and find it great , once theres a bit of weight beneath you then it self tends fine
