Was just going through my saddle gear earlier. Late in the season, I switched my linemans out for an 8mm oplux rope. I sold one 11mm predator linemans, and gave another 11mm to my uncle.
With the one I gave my uncle, I also gave away my only eye to eye spliced cord. I have some cheap 6mm that I've tied some eyes in the end with scaffold knots, but I'd prefer something with a sewn eye on each end, and something of better known quality. This stuff come from a hank of cord I bought off Amazon for the sole purpose of practicing different hitches and knots. Its supposedly "rated" to 9kn but I'm not gonna trust my life to it.
What's a good spliced eye to eye cord for both my 8mm oplux, and my canyon elite? I think I need 6mm for the oplux, and 7mm for the canyon. I prefer to tie Schwabisch hitches over prusiks. At least one of these will be used above my madrock on my repel rope, so it needs a good bit of length to it to reach my bridge.
