Excellent handling qualities

Ranked #116 - Climbing Ropes and Bouldering Pads
December 12, 2006
I have been climbing for forty years. Early on I favoured Edeldrid ropes as the very best, then Mammut and now EdelWeiss which I think are the best of the excellent range of modern ropes available. I bought Sharp doubles because my latest single is a Sharp 10.5 and I really liked that. I also like the idea to the abrasion/cutting resistance properties (but luckily I haven't put that to the test)
