This rope is super light and packable. I chose a double rated like this over triple rated for weight savings while still maintaining lengthy rappel capabilities, and it has not disappointed. I honestly don't think you can beat it without going heavier. I was thrilled with the price when I purchased it (about 90 bucks) and while I would say it's on the expensive side when at MSRP, I would consider it a worthy investment if you have the cash to drop on a nice piece of gear.
Just came back from the ropes maiden voyage up Mount Rainier. It was light, easy to work with, and performed well in some crevasse rescue practice we did before our summit attempt.
I've only used this particular rope once (summitting Mount Rainier last weekend), but one of my climbing partners has the same one that we've used on multiple routes. It's a little smelly when it first comes out of the package, but that goes away within a few days. The middle is very well marked, which is nice, and the ends are well sealed/taped. I hope I never need to test it in a life-saving situation, but I have full confidence that it would hold me and my team in a fall. It's also reasonably light for a 60 m rope.
