LIGHT, GREAT HANDLING AND DURABLE ROPE

By Stephen Koch Ranked #7 - Climbing Ropes and Bouldering Pads April 1, 2009

A few months ago I used one of these ropes on the Black Ice Couloir. The climb was a bit "modern" with thin and mixed sections and the rope was perfect, offering security and weight savings so we could move fast. The Valhalla Traverse was really fun with a little new snow to keep it interesting and offer some footing over the frozen kitty litter type material that you have to cross get to the Black Ice. These ropes are light weight and have great handling. The butterfly coil, as an other reviewer already said, really works well, eliminating the need to coil and uncoil your new rope several times to get the kinks out before use. These ropes are showing noticeably less wear than a pair of Beal cords that I had a couple years ago with even fewer pitches on them. Orange and green happen to be a couple of my favorite colors too!
