Best place to buy accessory cord for rope mods on your LW steps? I'm not too picky about everything being perfectly camouflaged but some dull colors would be nice, most of the stuff available online is BRIGHT!
 
Thanks! Looks like black or sever floresant colors. Does anyone make this in grey, brown, tan or green?

Any experience with paracord planet 8mm Panamax? 3k pound breaking strength. My only concern is that it might have a good bit of stretch like 550 does.
 
Not sure about that cord. If you look back a few posts in this section a member got some white 8mm cord & dyed it grey.

I got mine in desert camo. They have tons of colors and mixes.

Did you buy the Paramax? Does is stretch or is it similar to static rope? Standard 550 paracord has a lot of stretch, that’s the only reason I haven’t ordered from them yet.

From where?

I only found tan from one vendor on Amazon and they're backordered. Further internet search from all the rock climbing web sites hasn't turned up anything other than black or bright so far.

Gotcha. I'm still using the versa button with my rope mod. I'm not sure at what point the accessory cord becomes too small but that would definitely be a problem. It would be great to know if 7mm worked with the versa button, there are more options with that diameter rope.
