Has anyone been climbing on this rope? It has a high breaking strength and it’s light. I’m interested in getting 150’ of it to try out! Let me know your experiences!!

It's typically used for a rope bridge on the New Tribe Onyx saddles. It is pretty expensive. It is not marketed exclusively to arborists, so it would be coincidence if it worked well for us. The diameter is a little skinny. The elongation is too high for srt ascent. The break strength is a little low, but probably within spec. Tough to see advantages, past the shiny cover that does not milk...

What would you choose for a thinner rope to climb srt?

How thin do you want? There are several ropes such as km3 max, htp and snake bite (10.5 I think) that are 11mm and low elongation. For me the real thin stuff is great for ascent on ascenders, but very hard to grip with bare hands returning from a limb walk or doing small ascents while positioning.

I’m looking for 10.5-11.1 mm and quite static.

Which diameter? I've used the 10.5 and it's a bit stretchy compared to HTP or Escalator. I've heard others complain about its lumpiness. Even more complaints about the elongation of the 11.5 version.
