Best Rope I've Ever Owned

By jcl2519272 Ranked #371 - Single Ropes February 17, 2009

Like the title says, this is the best climbing rope I have ever owned. I've gone through lots of brands and sizes and this one is hands down the best. I've had it for a few months now, used it on sport, trad, a wall, and lots of laps at the Creek, and it still handles great and is showing little signs of wear. The price is a little high, but I don't regret it at all. So far, this rope seems to be wearing a lot better than previous ropes. So, the extra money spent feels like money saved on having to replace a cheaper rope.

Sometimes the details like impact force, dynamic elongation, test falls, etc get a little overwhelming when you're trying to figure it all out. This rope seems to have the best combination of numbers due to some serious technology.

If you're shopping for your first rope, then maybe a cheaper, thicker rope would be the way to go. But if you are experienced and are familiar with the nuances of climbing ropes, then I would highly suggest giving this one a try. I'm willing to bet that you will be more than satisfied. There's a reason this rope is sold out right now.

If you don't want to spend the big buck then I would suggest looking for a sale on a rope from the Sterling Marathon Series or the Beal Edlinger II. Both are nice ropes at a fair price.
