It's a 12-strand rope, so I wouldn't recommend it for SRT climbing. I used it professional for a few years, after my boss introduced it to me. Features I liked, it was a very strong, flexible rope, holds a knot well. Very easy to grip. It has white threads center of the strands to indicate excessive wear. This rope was had to wear out and work well in the pitchy pine trees. Dislikes: It weight is heavy...not a good rope for using mechanical devices. It's a twelve strand rope...I prefer lighter 16 24 strand lines. It still a pricey rope and I recommend the cost effective Buzzz line from Yale Cordage for an economical alternative.

I'm true to Samson's "true blue" 13.5 mm.

I bought a 120' of Samson's "true blue" this Spring and have been using it this Summer and Fall for tree climbing and for safety on my roof. I like it's look and feel. It is very flexible. It works easily and it has held up well, though I am very careful to use a friction saver and to keep it clean. I'm not sure how to rate a rope for saftey but it certainly hasn't let me down.
