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

Good rope for beginner

Great rope

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

good rope for the price

So far lasted me almost a year of weekly indoor and occasional outdoor use, only got fuzzy near the edges and still looks brand new in the middle so will last a while after cutting the ends. It stained really easily from dirt which persisted even after washing but it has no impact other than cosmetic. Not too thick so the rope drag isn't super bad.

Very pleased!

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

Great short rope for indoor climbing

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.
