Climbing a tree in South Carolina
I have been using 5mm (3/16) Maxim Tech Cord (5,000lb.) to tie my french prusik. I use 32" from eye to eye with 8 wrap and 1 crossover. It works great! the 8 wraps give it a larger area to hold onto when descending, no more burning finger tips.

After a 4 hour removal of an oak tree, I have found this setup to work best for me while limbwalking, etc. It works great with the Petzl micro pulley and Petzl William ball lock binner. the climbline feeds real smooth and the hitch bites very fast.
