It's a good quality rope and it's strength lies in its versatility. I've been using this as a back up rope and second top rope in such ice climbing spots that it's possible to establish several lines. It's not good though due its weight for multipitch ice routes.

Super versatile do it all rope, I've dragged this up and down all sorts and it's a wonderful rope to use - due to the multiple ratings it tends to have an awful lot of stretch in it which can take you by surprise first time.

Plays out nicely, very nice to belay with - can seem a bit smooth if not used to thin ropes. I think it's worth paying the extra for the 'Golden Dry' finish, much better during the wet and helps to stop dirt being ground into the sheath (makes it easy to wash).

Where weight is a factor this is a great choice, I wouldn't want to use it as a rope for a headpointing/redpointing (too pricey) and other, thicker ropes are better for thrashing to bits but to take on spec with a long walk-in and you're not sure what you're going to end up doing this is great.

Would I recommend it? Definitely.

A real workhorse, super durable.
