11.7mm climbing lines

[Alexbligh90]

I've climbed on Yale poison Ivy for the last year or so and need a another line. Love the poison ivy but haven't tried an awful lot else. Used with a zig zag and pantin.

Any other recommendations appreciated.

im on cougar blue and love it...not sure its particularly any better than the poison ivy though to be honest.

I like Yale hedera

Blue Tounge - so good

Cougar or tachyon although I think tachyon is 11.5 it feels bigger in the hand both great choices

Yip new england tachyon

Did you poison ivy have a yellow fleck running through it? If it didn't then it's the non c.e. Marked version, a very good rope and hard to beat due to it being pretty much static and super smooth on the zig zag however it can't pass loler as it has no c.e. Cougar blue is a cracking rope but I think it's 11mm not 11.7 so too narrow for a zig zag technically and also is non c.e. Marked. Blue tong is a dreadful rope in my opinion and mine will soon be retired to the pull rope department. Tachyon has changed recently, if you compare the rope now to the one on sale 18 months ago you'll see it's narrower and a tighter weave, I've not used this new version yet but I hear it flows like a dream on the zig zag.

 

It's all personal preference really, although I mainly climb on cougar blue I need a c.e. Marked loler able rope to run along side it and my preference would be tachyon at the moment

I went for the tachyon and it arrives tomorrow so I'll let you know what I think.

Thanks for the input guys

cougar is 11.7 and the gold fleck poison ivy ropes are the ce certified nylon cores. I climb on cougar and really like it but if tachyon was a polyester core then i would use that ...... tach is to bouncy but its such a good rope. I just can't go back to the bouncy ropes now that I'm on htp and cougar.

Seems I'm a bit of an odd one out but I'm not a fan of cougar. Mines flattened out so much I definitely wouldn't recommend it, based on my experiences with it. Being so static is nice though.

Personal favourite is Tachyon, as said it's bouncier than Cougar but no bouncier than any other rope. Plus once you've climbed on it 6 months and it's full of sludge it won't bounce that much anyway...
