Great Cord

By jason_ut Ranked #642 - Big Wall Climbing June 6, 2009

I’ve owned a rope from just about every company and I keep coming back to this cord. I always get the 70m, dry, and use it year round for rock and ice. I climb roughly 100+ days a year and usually burn through a cord annually. I retire the old ropes to top rope only cords for the newbie’s that I take out. The cords have never popped the sheath, cut, or become frayed; I simply retire them based on the usage and lead falls taken throughout the year. With that much usage the cord will become a bit “fat”, but that’s to be expected. I’m on my third rope and next year I will buy another. It’s not the lightest or thinnest rope out there but it is a great rope that will leave you satisfied. Don’t go with faint midline markers, or ropes with multiple makers at midline line then 10 or 15 feet from the ends, it creates too much room for error and more and more accidents are occurring with those styles. The bicolor, 70m is the only way to go and if you climb a lot, get stuck in the rain or drag it out on the ice, get a dry rope.

Great rope, you cannot go wrong and if you watch the site you can get it on sale.
