Triple rated, light weight, dry treated, unicore and looks slick! I love this rope, now have two that I'll used as doubles when taking two followers out on some multi-pitches. I would certainly get thinner ropes after these for more serious double roped climbs but these fit the bill and are a great deal for now!

This Rope is an awesome catch on a huge whipper. supper soft and yet puts up with a good chunk of wear on the sheathing.

Great rope! Light enough for solid multi-pitches and strong enough for all the whippers your heart could desire.

Durable, light, handles well.

Great rope used for glacier team and rock/alpine routes with short pitches. Very light and sheds water well. Very stiff still even after five trips, and continues to need break in. Rope is skinny enough that if you are using it with a prusik minding pulley you may need to get slightly thicker cord for it to not bind, but overall I am very happy with its performance.

It took a little working time for this rope to not curl up a lot but now it’s just fine. I like carrying it more than my old 9.5, but climbing on a skinnier rope takes some nerves to get used to. The weight difference is noticeable. We’ll see how it holds up over time. I tend to use it as a twin rope when leading since it’s triple rated, it’s nice to have options.

The rope is appropriately supple and durable…this is my second one and I love it.

need to use it on longer wandering stuff to get a sense for its durability, but a great sport rope

Outstanding light weight, durable rope. I only break out this rope on my long climbs and I always look forward to it.

I have primarily used these as twins for long multi pitch trad. I am not a huge fan of a tag line so this setup is better for me. I have also used them as singles on trips where I am doing multiple types of climbing. The ropes themselves are a little stiff out of the box, but the more you use them the more they soften up. As a single rope they can feel skinny and slick so you really have to be on your belay game. As far as durability goes they are holding up well after a season of use. They are not the perfect ropes, but I would buy them again. I definitely like the flexibility of the triple rating.

This rope handles and coils easily, and is lightweight, making it easy to go from route to route. Drag is minimal. Good stretch with a soft catch while whipping on the proj!

Best rope for the money.

soft handling rope that performs great on long trad climbing pitches. linking multipitch routes in NC can be hard with rope drag but this one is skinny enough to mitigate those issues, at 70m you can run 2 and sometimes three pitches together, combined with a twin rope in your climbing pack its a great option for long rappels as long as you remember to place the knot on the skinny rope side of the anchor
