Sterling Marathon Pro Rope - 10.1mm
great rope for thailand

i'm posted in thailand and when climbing the sharp limestone at crazy horse or down in krabi, i like the durable sheath, 70m (dry, of course) length and lightweight of this rope. it's not the softest handling rope in the world, but hey, i knew exactly what rope i wanted and for what purpose.
some reviewer expressed dismay that it wasn't more colorful. mine is bright frickin orange - people actually commented on how bright it was.
other reviewers have expressed this, but it's worth mentioning again... despite the product description (when i bought it in July), the 70m rope does NOT have a center mark or dual-pattern (although, i think that backcountry may have deleted this in the description).
