My favorite
This is one of 3, of my favorite all time ropes. It is the best all around rope i have ever owned. I use it for climbing and rappeling. It isnt my first choice for rapping but it does the job if you don't own a nice static. I haven't used it in a twin situation yet but im sure it would be fine. This is actually a pretty good choice for a beginner I my opinion.

Sterling had two chances to impress us with this rope. The first one we ordered was frayed at the mid-point between the bi-coloring. We figured it had to do with interweaving sheath fibers but when we contacted Sterling even they agreed it was extensive so they sent us a new one. Which was great until we took it out ONCE for a day of climbing and came back with a sheath that looks like this. Don't waste your time or money. I honestly thought my boyfriend accidentally bought a gym rope. 1 star.
Best Rope Ever
This rope handles unbelievably well, and is really good with abrasive textures outside. Sterling rope is all I buy now. The Velocity might be a repeat buy for a while. Get this rope!! The one star rating below, that picture isn’t even the Velocity rope. Don’t listen to em.
Favorite rope!
This rope has been incredibly durable and great quality! My go to for all things sport and top rope.
Good rope
