from Squamish

Bought this rope for my own birthday. I decided to get a cadillac-like rope with bi-color and dry treated, plus something allround for alpine, some cragging, and lots of multi-pitch. After shopping around I found this was probably the best deal dollar-for-dollar. I've found it a bit stiff at the start but it's loosened up after about 10 climbs. I was concerned that it might be a bit big for my Reverso 3 as a friend has a 9.9 that is too fat and belaying with it is tough work. This rope, despite only being .1mm less, rides through the device smoothly. I've only taken 4 falls on it so far and it didn't stretch as much as I thought it would--pleasantly surprised. The bi-color is a moss green and black which gets complimented from other climbers. It's a handsome rope. Overall, a great rope that I think will get better with time.
