Can't decide between this rope and the Millet 9.8mm. Intended use: multi. heavy use. (mix of trad and sport, mostly trad without a ton a intended falls). Would choose the rope with the most durable sheath and softer catches.

If you are really looking for a work horse you should look at a marathon rope from sterling or the sharp arc from edelweiss. The marathon series is super tough, they last forever and always climb well. I have owned a couple over the past 10 years (8 spent guiding). The sharp arc is also a beast. It takes some time to break in and will feel super stiff, but it will last a long time. IF I had to pick one rope soft catches and durability it would be the sterling.
