Anyone have comments on this as a first rope for new climbers? We just got this as a wedding gift and are wondering if this is a good one to have to start top roping with.That being said, would we be better off swapping it out for something a little thicker? If so any reccomendations?

It's a great rope for new climbers, but probably more than you need. It's designed for lightweight applications such as technical sport routes, alpine climbing or long trad routes where weight can play a factor (like when you're pumped out, placing a peice of protection and need to pull the rope up & clip quickly). It's probably more than you need, but you'll love it regardless. This was my first rope, but I do most of my top roping in the gym and usually lead outside so it worked great for me.

It's a high-performance, lightweight lead rope, but it'll still be great for starting out. It might stretch a bit more than you anticipate though. Coolest wedding present ever.
