Has a very nice hand but I'm not terribly impressed with the cosmetic durability--one day of cragging and it already looks pretty shabby. Maybe that's just how the sheath wears on this rope--it's supposed to be long wearing, so only time will tell. Otherwise I'm very happy with it. The Monster markers look cool, but I haven't noticed them running through my hands (one of the purported benefits). Oh and I didn't think the tapered ends would matter, but they are very nice for knot tying.
