I might own more ropes than anyone who saddle hunts lol, but part of that is just because I hadn't found the perfect rope. I like RescTech for a doubled rope system, but feel that 8mm is a little small for every situation we may get ourselves into like wet conditions. It's about surface area, not just strength. I just got the two new ones from RockNArbor and I am climbing on em everyday. They sell in any length you want and will sew on an eye if you want it. Both are rugged and a little more stiff than RescTech, Oplux or Canyon Elite. I like that. I obviously don't have enough time on em to know how they will age and wear but I am not seeing any sheath creep like I see with other ropes. The 3/8 or 9.5 mm is pretty awesome. The 7/16 or 11.1 mm is a little more bulk than I prefer. 10% off with the JRB10 coupon code... that gets us to $1 per foot for the 9.5mm.
For your own safety, I'd like to see everyone ditch the short tethers and get on a rope which reaches the ground, use it the whole climb, and know how to rappel out of a jam. It doesn't matter how ya climb, ya need to be prepared for the day when you find yourself with nothing under your feet and hoping or assuming you can call someone to rescue you.
