Early Impression

By Ross Exler Ranked #238 - Single Ropes June 5, 2010

I have only used the rope over 2 days, for 6 total pitches, but these are my initial comments. It has a good feel to it, not too stiff or a noodle. Feels good for clipping, runs clean, all of that (which is to be expected with a high end rope like this). Didn't take any falls so I can't evaluate anything related to that - including the all important sharp edge rating (though I guess it gives me some peace of mind). The rope did seem to twist a lot and become knotted, though this might happen less once the rope gets worn in a little more. The middle mark is nice to have, but hard to see. I climbed past a guide giving a lesson when I was using it, and the guide complimented it and said he uses the same one - I felt cool and then placed 2 pieces of pro over the next 50 feet to prove that I'm cool.
