Comments about Edelrid Eagle Pro 9.8mm x 70m Dry Rope:

I got this rope three months ago and on my first climb at reimers ranch it got stepped on and it frayed luckily it was at the end of the rope so I only cut off 10 feet. It is a good rope though I took a 25 foot fall and it handled great.

Comments about Edelrid Eagle Pro 9.8mm x 70m Dry Rope:

I've been climbing with the 60m Edelrid Eagle for two years; this is an excellent all-around rope. I have brought this rope along on quartzite, sandstone, granite, dolomite, and basalt climbs and it performed very well and is still in top shape after two years of abuse. I use this rope primarily for multipitch trad climbing, and also the occasional toprope climb at some of the widwest crags.

Comments about Edelrid Eagle Pro 9.8mm x 70m Dry Rope:

I started climbing in 1994, and have owned a dozen ropes. After owning Edelwise, New England, Bluewater, Stirling, and Petzl ropes, this is my first eldrid rope and I'm pleased. I took it on two climb's up the East Face of Mount Idaho as well as the Elephants Perch. Many times we chose to use all 70 meters to keep the pitch count low (link short pitches). I've also enjoyed using it at the City of Rocks Idaho where the granite can chew up a low quality rope pretty fast. I have to say the sheath is still in good shape after several dozen climbing days.
A 70 meter rope is a good idea because you never know if the anchor is 30 or 35 meters above terra firma. Too many routes need two ropes to rap off of, and I like having the extra cordage to get me down. One plus to this rope is the mid point comes already marked. No debates about how safe sharpie markers are or not.
I've liked how the rope is smooth to belay with. It moves quick through several belay devices, so its a good choice if your trying to get the red point on your project, and don't want your belayer 'short roping' you as you are trying to clip. I did notice that the original GriGri didn't lock up as fast as it does with other ropes. I think the diameter is a little skinny. You may need the second generation GriGri with this line, because it was designed for smaller ropes. This isn't an issue with any tube style belay device, but might be with the Trango Cinch.
If I had to think of things I don't like about this rope, they are nit-picky things like, one draw back is even after a few months of use, it still will twist at the bottom of a long rappel. This is not un-safe, just annoying. Maybe this will work itself out with more trips.
Another nit-pick about the rope is the color. It doesn't take long for it to collect aluminum grey over the whole thing. I'm hesitant to wash it, for fear of washing off the dry treatment and loosing its silky feel.
I'm not totally in love with this rope, but I'm well pleased. (Maybe I'm a hard sell.) My love will grow after a few years, so I can see how it holds up to the test of time. I'd say I've already gotten a years worth of climbing out of it in the last 4 months and its been a great rope.
One more thing, I've not taken it ice climbing yet, so I don't know how good the dry treatment is. I bought this rope with money.

Would I recommend this rope? You Bet! It works great. I've really had to think hard to find things wrong with this line.

Bought it for alpine and trad climbing. Used it for one ice season and some of the spring. Tore the sheath while simul rapping over an overhang. Was supper surprised. Everthing else about the rope was great. REI took it back though :)
