Planning on buying again very soon
I bought the 70m variant several years ago and since then it's been my primary rope. Only recently have I chopped of 5m of one end.
It's been a fantastic all-round rope and has been fantastic for multiple trips to Spain and a large amount of UK based sport climbing.
I'm planning on buying the 80m before my next trip.

Unsure
Despite being less than 3 months old, being used exclusively indoors only and making just 10 trips to the climbing centre, this rope has degraded extremely quickly. It feels very, very spongy in quite a few places, but hasn't taken many big falls at all. There's only 1 I can think of, where a 100kg chap fell about 4m on it, but I'd be surprised if that's enough to put the rope into this state

I have used this rope many time now indoor and outdoors. good rope for short route or use as a part of a double rope system.
Not too heavy, easy to clip, after first couple of uses barely tangles during climbs... only niggle it becomes a snake when flaking but most ropes do

I bought the 50 meter version of this rope on sale, its a great vibrant orange and it handles really nicely, have not had any issues with it tangling. This is my first climbing rope which i have used many times indoors and a few times outdoors. Hoping to get much more use out of it outdoors this summer. Fairly lightweight to travel with as well

Lovely handling rope. Short and fairly light so it is my go to rope for opportune quick single pitch sessions out on the local crags.
(5 stars as the price was really good too!)

I needed to get a new rope for gym climbing, and this rope is absolutely perfect for it. It feeds through my ATC quickly and holds up well indoors. In particular, since it is so short, it is also perfect so I don't have to spend a long time re-flaking it every time I need to move to a new part of the wall.

People said that alot to me when I'd take it out the bag so apparently it looks nice! It does everything you'd want it to do so no qualms

Brilliant price, I don't think it will last long on sandstone so likely to get another rope soon for slabs etc. and save this one for overhanging setups with no abrasion.

Hi Jay, depends what you've in mind but it'll certainly be fine for ascending and belaying/falling on etc as long as the rest of your climbing system is up to scratch. Bear in mind this is a dynamic rope and that if you're purely ascending/descending with no falling planned then a low-stretch or static rope may be preferable such as this one: https://www.alpinetrek.co.uk/tendon-pro-work-11-static-rope/
