Does what I asked it to

By Ranked #591 - Big Wall Climbing November 2, 2009

When I bought this rope, I had a specific goal in mind: climb it into the ground. I'm about to buy my second one, 18 months later. That's not to say it isn't durable. It is quite durable. It's just been a hard two seasons. It is still as soft as the day I bought it, despite dozens of whippers and long sandy pitches. I've power toproped on it, and even jugged on it a few times. Its just that the sheath is so fuzzy from all that wear that I keep fearing I'll have a core shot soon. They say two seasons is about par for moderate to heavy usage, I bought this rope hoping to test that. And now I'm going to buy another one, because I know it'll hold up to the abuse.
