Isn't 11mm more for srt? I'd spend a bit extra and go with blue tongue or hedera 11.7 (same rope different colours) in my experience I've never liked HC on thinner ropes, but that's just me

Do you usually climb on 11mm? Only thing I can think of is you may need a thinner eye-to-eye if you have been climbing on a 13mm rope with a 10mm hitch

aeris is a thin line with a smooth cover, very light, tightly braided, slightly stiff, not the most knot-able of ropes, a PITA to splice so its factory splice or nothing.

 

many people find it hard to grip, its relatively tight & stiff and pretty much as thin as it gets, if you use your pantin allot then its less of an issue. Some people take a while to dial in a hitch on aeris & describe it as little slick/slippy but i know allot of SJ users love it, it really flies through mechanical devices!

 

doubles up as a pretty good access line, unsurprisingly being that it's basically LSK with a smoother cover, very popular choice for a lanyard line, is good SRT or Ddrt if your preference fits, but its just that preference.

climbing on 13 mm with 8mm ocean eye2eye atm just want a rope with a bit more that's all and with a termination eye climbing on marlow gecko if this helps

Do you not find that the 8mm bites and binds too much? I've just bought a 10mm ocean eye2eye for my 13mm XTC rope as I didn't get on with 8mm ocean eye2eye

other way round for me bud 10 mm was horse work put 8mm on and fine lot less effort needed

If you're using a hitchclimber mate, I think you should stick with a 13mm rope from what I've read of other people's experiences it works better being easier to grip

That's the rope I use with my hitchclimber, I think it's great but it is the only rope I've ever used ha!
