HEAVY and pathetic bipattern
I hate this rope and I wish I'd never bought it. It's extremely heavy (heaving than 2 different 80m ropes I have) and the bipattern is pathetic - you can barely tell the difference between the two patterns: one has a fleck of black and one has a fleck of white. Shame on me for not seeing that before I bought it though. I've run into at least one other person that has this rope and hates it for the same reasons. I also feel like it's worn out pretty quickly under light use. I will never buy this rope again. Do yourself a favor and don't buy this.
More valuable than gold!
It has been the best rope I have owned so far. If you see it, buy it. Thank me later.
The best rope I have owned in 25 years.
I had this rope for 6 years. I probably put 250+ routes on it. Where most of those also had others toproping after I lead the route. It has held up well through all of it. Only now am I starting to see 1 fray on the sheath. Some say it is heavy, but I feel it is lightweight to me. However, I had much thicker ropes before, so take that into consideration. Personally, I wouldn't go any thinner, but I'm old school, so this feels super thin to me already. Belaying is smooth, and no issues with the rope. The only downside is the bi-pattern could be more contrast so that it is easier to see the middle, but honestly, for me, it isn't as bad as others make it sound.
HEAVY Rope! Weighs much more than advertised
I'd avoid this rope, it weighs much more than advertised, basically like an old school 10.5mm rope. Mine was 11lbs 6oz while it's advertised as weighing 9.5lbs. Was kind of shocked at the discrepancy so I weighed another one in the store to see if it was just a one-off manufacturing mistake, and it was the same deal. Edelrid's 9.8mm rope weighed less.
Decent rope - felt weirdly like plastic at first
This rope felt strange and like it was made of plastic for the first few climbs. It was also quite slick through the belay device. But after getting some dirt on it and working it through some routes, it now feels like a normal rope.
Attracts filth
Have had this for around a year now, first rope I've ever bought. I'm extremely picky about using a tarp for outdoor climbing and it is wild how quickly this rope gets filthy. My hands are gray after every belay and it looks more like a tri-colored rope now with how dark it is. I tried washing it and it looked almost-new but was covered again within a week of climbing somehow (and I put even more effort into keeping it on a tarp). Everyone else I've talked to with this rope has the same issue as well. Certainly has some impact on its smoothness going through Belay devices too (not ideal). It also took awhile to get all the kinks out of it, not sure if this is normal for new ropes but it was plenty twisted and needed to be run through a belay device quite a bit before they were all worked out. Still seems to twist up pretty often but that's probably my own fault. Otherwise, it has kept me safe and works well enough but overall I'd check out some other options. I am, and this rope is unfortunately not close to end of life.
