Well, 3/16 is gonna be stronger than 1/8 I hear that Amsteel is not really climb rated. I know I heard that from Jerry grose and one of his YouTube videos. I think it’s kinda thin. If I’m gonna take a chance I would try 3/16.Is there a reason that you want to change it? LOL
I'm not an amsteel for life-support person, but that's me, and I definitely wouldn't be using it as a tether!

Sorry I see who he is now the guy who made the sladder.No is he the amsteel guru?
How do you like the sladder? I will be using a figure 8 or repel ringWhen one sticking or using the Sladder and rappelling down, I use Oplux or Canyon C-IV with a Mammut Smart 2.0 belay device with a HMS style Carabiner. I used to use the MR safeguard and although it’s a great device, its nosier, bulkier and heavier than the Mammut Smsrt 2.0.
I am thinking about getting the sladder but just the thought of 1/8 am steel I get nervous but I would change it to 3/16 if I canHow do you like the sladder? I will be using a figure 8 or repel ring
Yes, I did talk to grayskwerell he seems to think the 3/16 would probably work but he didn’t test it. I am just concerned because he never have the weight rating on them advertised unless he already did now. I have to check his web pageI'm not an amsteel for life-support person, but that's me, and I definitely wouldn't be using it as a tether! Have you talked to @grayskwerel ?
He's right, it's not. The saddle hunting community is the only community that uses it as such. There are better, proven options.
