Samson Vortex Hot 12.7mm Climbing Rope
Samson Vortex Hot 12.7mm climbing line is your safe and secure stronghold at the center of activity when you are ascending a tree. This 24-strand cover line is a true 1/2" (12.7 mm), and is the lightest premium climbing line of its size available. Like its counterpart Velocity, but a little larger for easy handling, Vortex has excellent knot-holding ability, works well with hardware, and is great for footlocking. Compared to ropes of similar size, Vortex has 25-30% lower elongation when used at the same load.
Please Note: The cover on most new double braid ropes will stretch during the first few weeks of use. The excess cover should be cut off. For this reason, Arbsession doesn't recommend putting two eyes on a brand new double braid rope.

Pretty good rope
This rope is very soft and feels great when climbing. It’s incredibly supple, more than I typically like, but that has it’s advantages, the same for the diameter, I typically prefer ropes with a smaller diameter, but for a short climb line or long lanyard with hitch cord and a triple attachment pulley, Samson Vortex is good for me.
