Hey Everyone,

Recently have been starting to foot lock, but I have been using someone else's cord for my prussik (HRC). So now I am looking to buy some cordage to make my own prussiks... Question is what cord could I use (buying bulk) for both a footlock prussik and I2I hitch cord (Brand/diameter)... I know this can be rather subjective, but I'm just looking for general recommendations from your experiences... any help is appreciated!

thanks!

what size climb line are you using
 
I just switched over from prussic cordage to the Petzl Ascentree for footlocking. So much easier, never have to worry about your prussic binding if you put weight on it.
For I2I I use 8MM Beeline. I like the higher heat resistance then the Tenex but the Tenex will grab easier.
