jfoxGreat Rope!

Voted 5/5

So far so good. I finally got to use it at North Table Mountain and it worked superbly. No kinks, it slid throught the ATC well and held many climbs.

Edit: I've now used this rope in Eldo, Clear Creek Canyon, Vedauwoo, Boulder Canyon, RMNP (Ice/Mixed) and Golden Gate Canyon State Park. Still works great!

Scott RogersExcellent Sport Rope

Voted 4/5

I have found this rope superb for Colorado Front Range Sport Climbing. Like Jfox said, it slides well through the ATC for both belays and rappells. Additionally, it clips really well and is very lightweight, causing very little rope drag even at the top of 100' pitches. However, I would not recommend this rope for multipitch traditional routes as the sheathing on the rope seems much less protective than other ropes I have had. I have had some pretty good fraying in the last 10 outings.

I think this rope is on sale right now at reioutlet.com

Very good price for an excellent rope.

nothing special, but it gets the job done. Dry treatment wears out really fast. All around a really good rope.
