Awesome Climbing Rope
The rope is lightweight and easily packable. Great for shorter climbs. Although, not for its intended use, I used it for smaller drops while canyoneering and it did great.

Excellent alpine rope
This rope exceeded expectations. The middle mark is extremely easy to recognize. The colour is even more vibrant in real life than the pictures. Rope management was a breeze, light weight while still being durable. Overall very pleased with the product.

Great light weight rope!
Very light weight for a single rope. The 40m is perfect for simul climbing and alpine adventures.

Amazing Gym Rope
I needed a gym rope since I’ve been doing double duty with my outdoor climbing rope, and 70m is just too much rope for a Texas gym. As always, the quality of the rope is amazing, and the color is VIBRANT. Absolutely in love with this gorgeous addition to my kit.

Light, handles well but not that durable
This rope is ideal for long approaches and days at the crag. It feels nice in the hand and is smooth to feed out slack. However, it doesn’t seem to be super durable and shows signs of wear after only a few uses. I think this is to be expected with this thin rope. A slight compromise choosing lighter weight over longer lasting rope.

Incredible Rope
Received my new BD rope very quickly. Certainly overpackaged for a rope but well protected. Opening it, you can see how this rope will pop at the crags lol. Extremely vibrant color which doesn't change its performance but adds to the experience. Lots of people were commenting on how they loved the color while watching me lead. As far as quality, this is my first time with a BD rope usually sticking to Sterling, and I must say I'm pumped to get more miles on this. I've done about 20+ climbs now leading from 5.9 to 5.12c and rapped off. This thing is LIGHT and packs small and glides nicely through your hands while clipping. It take some time belaying with a grigri to get used to the 8.9 size but I love this rope so far.
