Wears like most 24 strands. Are you planning on running it natural crotch all the time?

With the exception of htp, most of them glaze or pick easily. If you plan to do much natty forking, go with Yale or Samson 11.7 double braid. Just as static, easier on the hand, and better suited to the task.

*To clarify, I was referring to Fly. It is a 24 strand kernmantle.

This rope will be mostly used SRS with a rope wrench. If I do climb MRS I usually have a cambium saver. Natural crotch will likely only be as a second tie in point.

I feel like I remember being told natural crotch was bad for kernmantles because it moves the jacket seperately from the core, maybe causing milking?

I climb mostly on blue moon and really just want to try something different.

Lots of my friends use fly. They use and abuse it, its a great rope all around. No complaints.
