Rope diameter?

[JoeyS]

I know that karst sports sells 3/8 and 7/16 static line, FWIW.

Yeah... 3/8 is about 9.5mm, and 7/16 is about 11.1mm... surely there's something in between those two? (Or am I being too picky here?)

Oops I was off but I know I've seen 10 mm static line being sold by at least one caving vendor, if that's what you're after. Maybe a quick google search will do ya good

InnerMountain, and On Rope have 10mm their conversion to inches calls 10mm rope 3/8" (should all be metric )

IMO 10mm is the best compromise between wear resistance, handling and weight, good stuff.

Ah, that makes sense. Googling around, it looks like OnRope has static 10mm ... they don't list the brand but since they give the choice of "ez-bend" and "max wear" I'm presuming it must be PMI...

(at 10mm I think I would definitely go for max-wear

Why use such a thin diameter on SHORT drops? The pluses of thinner rope (lighter weight, taking up less space) seem like something you'd want to take advantage of on a loooooong rope.
