Airliner 2X Dry Climbing Rope - 9.1mm
Why We Like The Airliner 2X Dry Climbing Rope
Use Maxim's superlight Airliner 2X Dry 9.1mm Climbing Rope as a half on alpine routes, or climb mixed, ice, or multipitch with it as a single. Endura Dry 2x treats this rope's sheath and core with water repellency in order to reduce overall water absorption significantly. Like all of Maxim's ropes, you can expect a fluid feel through belay devices, a smooth clip, and a durable, abrasion-resistant performance.

My Favorite Sport Climbing Rope
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Super lightweight and feeds through the grigri like butter. Unlike other ropes, this one doesn't thicken up over time -- it stays true to shape after multiple cragging days without excessive "furriness". I've tried the Sterling 9.2mm Aero and the Mammut 9.2mm Revelation and this one is my favorite crag rope by a long shot. It's been really durable as well. The only downside is lack of a good bi-weave color, which is why I use the single pattern for sport climbing. I use the Sterling 9.0mm Nano for multipitch climbs (lighter weight, better bi-weave pattern, but less durability).

Dark Star: not a good bi pattern
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
The good: It's holding up so far after 4 months of about 2-3 days out a week getting about 4-10 pitches in every session. The bad: I paid the extra money for the bi patern "dark star" color (and it isn't cheap!) and even after months of use I can't hardly spot the difference in the pattern. I wanted a bi pattern to make repels easier in the dark but this makes it extremely difficult even during the day time. I'd rather have a single pattern rope with a middle mark than the dark star. And on that note, I'm gonna buy another rope before the season ends because this is ridiculous. So for that reason, I can not recommend this rope especially for the price range it's at.
