Versatile rope

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful
My current favorite rope, a good balance between heavier 1/2" ropes and the skinnier 11mm ropes. Even though it's spec'd at 11mm it feels fatter in the hand than Blaze or Velocity. Rope characteristics remain consistent after it's broken in. Has slight bounce compared to Poison Ivy which I like. Versatile for DRT or SRT when you only want to carry one rope into the woods. Holds a Blake's Hitch just right when you're tied in traditional with a closed loop system and it's flawless with an advanced hitch (closed hitch) split tail. It's going to be bouncy compared to a super low stretch static rope but it'll get the job done SRT. I think it's an optimal rec climber's rope especially if you're only going to own one rope.
