Feels like silk, handles like a dream
by John
I got this in 2017 and love it for everything except natural crotching. It feels like silk, is not at all stiff yet still flows through my foot ascender, at start of climb, better than my other climbing ropes. I got it with two spliced eyes so I could use it with the Hitch Climber and it works very smoothly. It works single and doubled and has impressive strength for the light weight.
Smooth & Strong

Ive only used this rope for MRS. Knots great and holds up well, ended up buying a second one! Would recommend!
