I purchased the 70m in late summer and have been using it primarily on trad routes in the Gunks throughout the fall -- this is a versatile and durable rope. The 70m length has been especially helpful in making quick work of some longer multi-pitch climbs (and the subsequent raps). The middle marker is especially helpful but sometimes hard to see. Overall a great rope.

This is an amazing rope, It doesn't kink, It's very light nad I love the golden dry cover. It works well for sport, multipitch, and top ropping, plus it seems very durable.

Awesome rope. i purchased the golden dry rope. great deal. rope is very light and has a soft catch. comes with a good beginer rope bag with a tarp. i would definately buy this rope again

Been climbing a few times with the new rope. I really like it and it comes with a rope bag!

I have used one for the past 2 years (about 40 days out) on trad & sports, on single and multi pitches. One of its great qualities is that it does not kink, which helps enormously with rope management and making sure that the rope does not get stuck when you pull them after rappels. Also, it feels thinner (easier to clip, manage, belay etc.) than a lot of the skinnier ropes that I have belayed with. The dry treatment lasted about a year. The sheath still looks good after 2 years with only very very slight fraying where I hang-dog. On the down side, the middle marker is very, very hard to find on the purple version of the rope: not enough contrast. I do consider buying one of these again when I retire the current one. I wish they would make a version that changes patterns at the half way point though.

I've taken this rope out on 5 or so climbs so far and love it. I got the 70m GoldenDry. I've already found two climbs in which having the 70m cut two rappels down to one. I like the stretchiness of the rope and the peace of mind that gives me when trad climbing (less force on my gear).

I also bought 70m Golden Dry. Extra length comes in handy. Great feel, nice bag.

Beal has the softest catch on the market for the weight, and with the double-dty treatment these ropes are going to last a good while. So, take a look at them, just great ropes!
