I would buy again

Nice cheap rope. Mainly used for indoor climbing, but would have no problem with using this outdoors. No issues with tangling that I've seen on a lot of reviews, is kept threaded in a rope bag and usually fine to just go straight to climbing with.

Like the colour, and not such a common rope to see around the climbing walls means I don't get it mixed up with other people.

Very short lifespan

I'm very disappointed with this rope because now, after just 6 months of use it's knackered and needs retiring. Today I had to cut several metres off of one end after just a few short falls at an indoor wall. The other end is already worn through the sheath.

I've used the rope for indoor climbing and some outdoor sport. I'd hoped that being a 10.1, rather than a 10 or even 9.8 it might last a bit longer. But strangely the rope doesn't seem as thick as my previous 10mm.

The rope is cheap so maybe I shouldn't expect too much. However it was no cheaper than previous ropes I've had, like an Edelrid Coral 10mm and a Decathlon 9.8mm but seems to have worn out far quicker than both of those.

For this reason I won't buy again and wouldn't recommend it. At the same price you can definitely find better.
