Did Not Meet Expectations

Unfortunately, the rope was manufactured about 5 1/2 years ago and dynamic, climbing ropes have, at most, a life of 8 to 10 years, even if they’re not being used. Consequently, I returned the rope unopened as a big chunk of its useful life, from a liability perspective, had been used up sitting in the warehouse.

Petzl Ropes Are The Cats Meow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Soft, supple, good quality rope that runs through belay devices like butter. Easy to clip and doesn’t get kinky. I’m sold on Petzl ropes. Get one!

Does What It's Supposed To

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good rope for outdoor use. Seeing a little more fiber fraying than I had expected but nothing that is compromising the integrity of the rope

Handle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The handle on this rope is great! Rope clips fast and belays smooth. Ready to climb right out of the coil. Next time probably order the 9.2.

Best Rope Ever!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this rope a few weeks ago, love it. It feeds well thru the grigri and seems very durable. Love the orange color, really stands out on rock!

Well Broken In On Arrival

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a friend who bought a similar style and priced rope in another brand on this site and it was so sticky and still is. This has been a dream to work with right out of the box. I appreciate the extra length for awkward length repels in El Petrero Chico. Highly recommend.

Quality Quality Quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You couldn't pay me to switch ropes. This is one beautiful, high-quality rope that leaves all the climbers that have seen it in awe. I bought this rope because it was one of the highest recommended ropes on the internet. I have been out at the New River Gorge in West Virginia with it and it performed amazing. It is a 9.5mm so it fits perfectly within the three star rating for the GriGri 2 and the GriGri +. This rope feeds SMOOTH. I use the GriGri + and man, I have had so many people comment about how great the rope feeds through the belay devices. It gives the perfect amount of smooth without sacrificing safety. I gave the 4 stars on durability because I haven't had the rope for long so I just don't know it's durability. It also is a bit smaller so naturally there will be more wear, quicker on the rope. I will say there is a little bit of a marketing error. The gold rope color is definitely gold with black dots within it. It's NOT brown/black with some gold in it. I've included a picture of me climbing with it where you can actively see that the color, even from afar.

Great All Around Rope

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just purchased this rope for the second time. It is light, easy to clip, feeds nicely. For not being bi-pattern, the middle mark stays visible for a suprisingly long time.

Perfect Weight, Handling, And Look!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best rope I have used for sport climbing thus far. For my upcoming climbing trip to Spain, I was looking for a new rope that would have minimal drag and high durability while also being conducive to light handling (both for clipping and belaying) and soft catches; this rope meets all of those requirements. As soon as you take it out of the package, you can use it immediately without needing to flake it. The rope is lightweight, which makes it easy to clip, and dirt does not adhere to it easily due to the smooth sheath. At 9.5mm, this rope handles much more nicely than thicker ropes when using a grigri. The diameter is perfect and makes the rope lighter without sacrificing safety; I tried it on rock with some really sharp flakes and edges in NH, and never felt unsafe. Falling on it felt great as well. As an additional bonus, the orange color is striking and stands out on the wall.

Great Rope!

Nice length, thickness and overall a great rope! Good middle mark.
