Another which rope do I buy thread...

[jrose]

Hi all,

 

I'm currently climbing on New England Union rope, but need to replace it fairly soon. I brought myself a length of Tachyon a couple of months ago, and really don't like it as I find it too hard to grip on a dry warm day, let alone in the cold and wet! So it's going to be sold, and I'm back in the market.

 

I climb on a Hitch Climber with VT, and no intention to change any time soon. As I found the Tachyon too skinny, I'm looking at 13mm ropes and interested in any opinions on the following:

 

Liros Ignite - this seems to be a new entry to the market, anyone used this?

Samson Arbormaster

Teufelberger Arbor Elite

 

I could go with what I've had before, and either get New England or XTC, but I like the idea of trying something new.

 

cheers,

Joe

How's this.

 

I've been told it's very good.

Yeah vortex is nice rope from Treeworker.co.uk

Also the ignite did seem a nice rope when I saw it at the apf!

I've only used arbormaster out of those ones. It is pretty bomb proof, long life expectancy, very stretchy and super heavy which would put me off buying it again. More keen on 11.7 or 11mm these days.
