I typically use this rope to set up a top rope anchor and while i have no doubt that it'll hold and is very durable, the stiffness makes it harder to work with and doesn't pack down as well when in transport. I will not buy this rope again should I need another static rope for TR anchors.
This rope is fine (i.e. you're not going to die) but it is really stiff and tough to manage. Since I bought it I've used other static ropes that were much more supple. Whenever I buy another rope I'm going to go with one of those.
Rope is just what I needed for some rappels where I need good edge protection although the rope is so stiff my wife can’t pinch it hard enough to fit in her atc. No problems for me, just be mindful of it being a tight fit in any sort of atc device.
Tope is too stiff, I needed one for an SPI course and it was embarrassing using this one as it isn’t that packable and it’s so stiff. I bet it’s rating is great but for me workability is what I need.
I purchased this rope to use as a safety line to tie myself off as I shoveled the snow off my roof this past winter. To date while I have relied on it i have not used it, and I hope never to fully test it. It is a pleasure to tie and work with and when testing my setup it feels far more solid than the safety ropes I've used from industrial suppliers. I was pleased to find the rope in stock when I needed it and my 20% off member coupon made the purchase an exceptional value.
We used it for our canyoneering a 200 feet down a canyon and we used it to tow ourself out of being stuck in wet sand.
Excellent rope size and type, static rope for climbing and caving. 11mm fits my croll chest and hand acender, progress capture teeth doesn't snag the rope when doing switch over.
