Review Title

By Daniel Wilson Ranked #61 - Big Wall Climbing August 16, 2009

This is a great rope for people getting started climbing on their own gear. At 10.5 it's very durable as far as climbing ropes go. It can take the abuse you're bound to give when learning to lead climb. It will last for a long time if you're just using it as a toprope (assuming you're avoiding bad karma by using 'biners, and not doing laps through the chains).

It feeds nicely through belay devices and I haven't had any problems with it getting tangled up. Really, the only con I've found with it is the weight. When you're 60 feet up a lead route, you can feel the difference from a skinny line when pulling up line to clip, but I'll take the extra weight and not have to worry if my rope will catch me or not.
