BOMB PROOF
Recently took this guy on an expedition over seas, it out performed all expectations! I usually wouldn’t feel comfortable on anything under 9mm but this is the exception. Lightweight & reliable I genuinely look forward to using this rope! It’s already seen a few thousand feet of rappels and is showing little to no signs of wear. 10/10 rope, great for almost every application!
The absolute best rope I've ever owned
This rope is the absolute best rope I've ever owned, period. If you're looking for a rope to do it all, this is it! From speed climbing on bigwalls in Yosemite to Kyrgyzstan's remote alpine bigwalls, this rope has performed the best of all the ropes I've owned/used. It truly feels bomber, feeds (and catches!) in a grigri like a charm, handles great and it's relatively tangle free with a little care. I'm mostly amazed at its durability while free climbing, taking gnarly whips on it or jugging it as a fixed line on bigwalls, I just can't wear it out. 8.9 is the smallest diameter I would go for an all around, and I honestly felt a bit spooked to use such a skinny rope for every type of climbing, but Edelrid found the perfect recipe and it just works! It also makes for a perfect alpine rope where weight matters and cut resistance is key. When it's time to retire it, I'm 100% getting the same one again.
NOT durable. I climb outside like every week.
I’ve had about 10 different climbing ropes in the 4 years I’ve been climbing, and I still have 5 of them for different uses. I climb multi pitch, sport, and take friends top roping. I climb in the gym as well. I just climb, a lot. The most durable rope I’ve owned so far (which I still use here and there) has been the Edelrid Eagle Lite 9.5. I used this 8.9 on three different outings. I looked down one day and notice it had shredded bad on one end and I could see the threads (in the core). First time I’ve ever seen this happen to one of my ropes. I cut that end down (luckily only lost 7 feet of rope.) If you looking for durability, thin ropes like this, no matter what they thread it with, will be less durable. Go 9.5 and up if you need a work horse rope. We use a gym mammut rope and 9.5 crag duodess mammut for our big days out in the mountains. Very happy with that brand.
