VT setup.

I am trying to switch over to the VT on a 11mm climb line. What diameter VT cord should I use. I have a 3/8ths tenex eye and eye splice cord will that work or should I go another route.

Thanks in advance.

3/8 tenex if spliced properly for an eye'n'eye fattens up to a little shy of 1/2". I've used 3/8 ultra tech, secured with double fishermans/overhanded noose. Works good, but if you're using a rope guide the polyester sheath melts off pretty quick. I've grown really fond of how the 5/16 HRC works with my Blaze. Only limitation is my fingers get closer, therefore warmer, to the rope on quick burns.

I cut the HRC to a length of 44" then tie double overhanded noose knots to secure to my biner. 44" gives me a nice short VT on Gold Streak, and an average length on Blaze.

I use 3/8 tenex, and it works pretty well, im looking at getting some HRC and trying that out a little more.

Havn´t tried it on 11mm but Tech 12 works very fine on 12mm Arbor Master and Edelrid XP.

HRC rocks! The only thing that compares is a Vectran sling custom spliced by Nick.
