At 10.3mm, the Edelweiss Ally Single Rope gives users a versatile balance between weight and durability, so you can use it for working a sport climb or a long trad route. The Ally Rope won't make you feel like you have a tug-boat rope tied to your harness when you gun for the anchors on your project, and it won't wear out after a couple months of hard climbing. Edelweiss created this line for climbers who need one rope to take on all their trips.

Bottom Line: If you want one rope for all your climbing needs, make it the 10.3mm Edelweiss Ally.

Amazing rope especially considering the price. Not too bulky for sport climbing which is nice towards the top of routes. I have had a few friends go buy this rope after using mine. Never had any problems with kinks or jams while belaying. I do wish it had a halfway mark, but that's not really a reason to complain. I would highly recommend getting this.

excellent rope

I've used a buddy's Edelweiss 10.3 mm rope for our last two climbing trips. The rope is smooth through a belay device, such as a black diamond ATC, and it never kinks. We have top roped it and sport climbed with it and it worked great for both. My next climbing purchase will be this rope. That way we can rotate the ropes and make them last a little longer. I recommend this rope to all climbers and its has a great price.

This rope is bomb

By:

Bought this rope before going on a week long trip to New River Gorge and couldnt be happier with it. It handles incredibly smoothly, no matter what your belay preference is- atc, 8, grigri, or cinch. The price cant be beat as well. I climb with it several times a week in spain and have not noticed any signs of wear and tear, despite several sketchy topropes with poor bolt placement.

Wonderful Rope

By:

People (to include myself) can "knit pick" at anything, ANYTHING! I have used this rope multiple times and I love it, I have also loved all of my other ropes as well. This rope is great for the price and it smoothes out very nicely. I can't say I have ever had it kink on a belay device; plus it has held up great for me even though I have had it on some routes where there was alot of abrasion. If you want to just climb this rope will do the job and not give you any problems.

What are we sacrificing by going for the cheapest option? Is doing so a reasonable move for someone getting started, who expects to upgrade equipment in a year or two? Specific feature question: can we get away without the dry treatment if we're not ice climbing?

For the most part, as ropes get more expensive, they improve in three areas: Durability, handling (knotability?), and helpful features (bi-color or middle and end marks, dry and double-dry coatings, etc). None of these things ruin a day of climbing for me either way, but I do enjoy a nicer rope with more features. Dry coating isn't a factor if you never climb ice, snow, or in the rain, but isn't a bad thing to have in case you get stuck in a surprise storm, as ropes become weakened and very difficult to handle when wet or icy.

average rope

was a god first rope but after time has becamse very hard to handle and seems more like an 11mm rope. jams in grigri, even in atc sometimes.

I have also found the sheath has moved a fair bit compared to the core resulting in constant kinks and twists.

Seems pretty well wearing against rock etc, is getting flat spots before it is wearing if that helps anyone.

Great

This is a great all around rope. I have found the sheath to be wear resistant on ledges and corners and also the color is pretty cool looking, it's different than what is shown above. It has great knot-ability and stretch. It is a little on the heavy side but I love climbing on it!

Rock climbing ropes don't break (with a few weird exceptions). All climbing ropes that are UIAA certified are safe to climb with. In shopping for a rope you need to consider impact force (this rope is 9kN which is about average), elongation, weight, diameter (roughly correlates with longevity and durability), features (like middle marks, bipattern coloration, etc), and handling. Don't worry about "how much it will hold".In terms of holding falls the things to rely on are . 1 . The competence of your belayer . 2. the quality of your anchor placement (both when leading and top ropeing ) and 3 . the distance between your anchors ( when leading )

By:

I bought this as my first rope and so far have no complaints. Handles smoothly with an ATC or grigri. For the price, this rope is hard to beat especially if you are just getting into climbing.

Well, not awful but not good.

I purchased the 60 meter with a buddy, we chopped it in half for a pair of 30m gym lead ropes. It catches softer than I expected and is fine for a gym rope, I do wish the handling was better though. Probably a good choice if you are just getting into climbing and don't want to spend a lot.
