Which rope for wet freezing conditions? Tether, linemens, etc

Here are a few different rope sizes I have. All are about 35 feet. 9.0mm, 8.5mm, 8.0mm

Are those all the Canyon rope in different diameters?

I've read where people say 40' of Oplux will fit in the bottle holder (I have one). I know the 9mm HTP is far from fitting in there - it's too bulky and too stiff. Curious where the 9mm Canyon fits between those two.

These are all different ropes. I just thought the size difference can be seen so you could determine if they will fit in your pouch.

Sorry to revive a fairly dead thread...

Wondering if you guys that are on the Canyon rope have used 9mm HTP static rope in the past and could offer up a comparison between the two? I'm currently using Oplux as my tether/climbing rope for 1-sticking, but have 40' of 9mm HTP static that I tie into for rappelling via ATC device. Looking for some comparisons on packability and rappelling ability between the HTP and Canyon ropes.

I’ve got some of all 3... canyon is the hybrid of the two. Packability/stiffness is right in the middle of both oplux and htp.

And it’s better designed for those nasty condition than the others according to sterling.

Guess I'll stick with the HTP for now until it needs replacing then make the switch over to Canyon. I'm in GA, so we don't have too many instances of icy freezing ropes. :)

Honestly I can’t tell much difference between the 2. The canyon might be a hair more supple than htp, but not by much, and nowhere near Oplux.
