I saw a new rope at TCIA Expo, it was a hollowbraid, similar in weave to Tenex. They had it spliced in a traditional Whoopie configuration.
What was different was that the carriers, instead of being a bunch of threads, like most hollow braids, seemed to be individual kernamntle construction lines. It was like they weaved some 3/4" rope from 12 strands of accessory cord. It was really cool actually.
Heres a pic and some links:
Apparently Marlow makes an entire line of arborist focused rope products and other stuff. Dont know much else about them though.
