This rope is great. I got the 80M for ski mountaineering to use as a single to ski-belay and its long enough to double when I need it for vertical travel and rappels. I liked it so much I bought a second one and use it for wondering multi-pitch rock, with good rope management your able to string together really long pitches. I will say that it has gotten super dirty, haven't washed it yet, but that may be a by-product of its skinny diameter.

Good rope.

I usually don't use twin ropes, but I got to take a spin on this one working on a route in the Red. Amazing handling (for Sterling) and a soft catch. Recommended.

Great rope pick it up soon-ish.

This rope is sweet. It's super thin but you can trust it. Its got a great color but fades really fast. Take your time learning it. :D
