Some forums i read through had people stating they'd rapped on 7-8mm AC (not using a Gri Gri). Some peoples opinions on this was that it was safe whilst others stated "You're gonna die". Another person stated that they'd constructed a top rope setup using AC.

Going off the two links I discovered later it appears both AC and PC posses similar Kn with AC possessing slightly more than PC. AC is made up of more rigid fibers while PC is of a softer quality making it better for biting the rope as a friction device. Neither are made with dynamic use in mind. My conclusion from my research is that both are suited for static loads only with one being preferable for stereotypical prusik use while the other is suited for anchor building such as the W anchor John built at Phegans Bay that day.

If anyone has any more information they can share with me I'd really appreciate it. I've looked at manufacturers websites with no information differentiating the uses for them.
