If you are looking in the 9-10mm diameter range, there is quite some variation in quoted strengths for a given weight per metre given it is all nylon. I accept there are different constructions, but still.
In the never-ending struggle between how much you can get in one bag on one hand and abject terror on the other, I have sort of decided I would like Type A rope, but not too heavy.
9.5mm Edelrid Super Safety is quoted at 59g/m for 2200kg. So about 37kg/g/m.
Gleistein 9mm is 54g/m for 2700kg. So 50kg/g/m.
Spelenium Gold 9.5mm is 33kg/g/m. I own quite a bit of this. The whole spec is exactly equal to the Type B spec, which seems a bit of a threshold thing to a suspicious engineer.
So some ?interesting? things going on.
I am going to get some of the Edelrid. I trust them and it?s tested to Type A. That?s my selection criteria.
