Perfect and light!
Looks it's the exact the alpine rope I was looking! The weight its great! I didn't make any alpine climbing yet, but I used for trad and sport climbing and it's great!

nice rope, but worried about durability
i bought the 70 and cut it into 2, 35s. i love the color, and the weight, but after taking it up Assiniboine the rope is showing signs of wear after one climb. nothing critical but its starting to go puffing in more spots than id like to see

Hot stuff
We have been looking to get a 70 m rope for sometime now, this vibrant one went on sale and we snagged it up. It has such a great vibrant color that we are almost afraid to use it because we want to keep that fresh shine!

Send string.
Bought the 80mm. Light weight and looks amazing. Didn’t feel the drag off the road while climbing. It was also silky smooth clipping. I want a 60mm for the crag days now.

Awesome Climbing Rope
The rope is lightweight and easily packable. Great for shorter climbs. Although, not for its intended use, I used it for smaller drops while canyoneering and it did great.

Excellent alpine rope
This rope exceeded expectations. The middle mark is extremely easy to recognize. The colour is even more vibrant in real life than the pictures. Rope management was a breeze, light weight while still being durable. Overall very pleased with the product.

Great light weight rope!
Very light weight for a single rope. The 40m is perfect for simul climbing and alpine adventures.
