yale lowering line

[SteveBullman]

a local store has some yale lowering line in. only thing is he didn't have any details other than it was a yale xtc 16mm.
its a white rope with yellow flecks, couldn't see it online.
is anyone familiar with this line? it seemed to have a bit of stretch so im not sure how suitable it will be, looking for feedback
thanks

by the way welcome big A

thanks mike, have you used it?

sounds like the same rope we use.doesn't stretch much and works well in our pulleysand porti.
we haven't managed to break it either(yet).

I've currently got some Yale Double-Esterlon in service and like it just fine.

I was under the impression that the jacket and core of this rope (as well for Stable-Braid) carried the load equally and for that reason it's not a good idea to allow too much friction at a redirect.  I think I got that idea from either the Yale or Samson website...

Don't forget the Double-Esterlon has a maxi-jacket urethane coating that adds a bit of UV protection and keeps grime out of the core.

5/8 xtc as a lowering line, its good IMO.just gotta whip the ends .

No, I think it has something to do with crime coming out of the core...
