Rope and split tail

[Alplantz26]

I've got a question and hopefully what I purchased will be ok. I've always climbed with 1/2 inch climb line and same size split tail with a Blakes. Now I just recently ordered a lava 11.7 mm rope and 10mm split tail will this work with a Blakes hitch? I only weigh 135 pounds.

It's only basically 1mm difference

To answer the original question.. Yea man, that'll work fine.

I find you have to really make sure it sets properly. It's safe just make sure you pay a little bit more attention.

Climb safe!

It will work. You can always make an extra wrap on your blake's if it slips on you.
