Good basic rope

Posted by Luke on 6th Oct 2010

I've used this rope several times for lead climbing and found it to be a great rope. It was nice and flexible, so clipping it in was a breeze compared to some other stiffer ropes I've used. When I took a fall on it, I didn't feel any pain or discomfort, which was great as I'm still a bit nervous about falling.

60m is probably better to get then 50m, as there's a tendency on all ropes to get a bit frayed at the ends, so you can chop off a bit and still have a serviceable rope.

It's a basic rope and is a bit heavy, but for most people who are doing the occasional everyday climb, i'm sure this is a good rope for you.
