"This rope is so bright green it’s basically yelling “CLIMB ME” from across the parking lot. The dry treatment works insanely well. Dirt, dust, moisture—this rope refuses to absorb bad vibes. It still handles smooth and feeds clean even after being dragged across things it probably shouldn’t have been dragged across. I’m sorry, rope. Durable, smooth, loud green, and clearly invested in my continued survival. If this rope could talk, it would say, “I got you—but please stop whipping. ” 10/10, would trust my life (and my terrible decisions) to it again."
"This rope already assisted in some epic adventures, great and sturdy for climbing while still being light enough to not make the approaches terrible!"
"Great rope! I have a non-dry BD rope and like it for its durability and price. I got this for the same reason, and believe this should last a long time."
"I love this rope for alpine, is super light weight. I travel a lot and is easy to carry everywhere with me. i avoid use for tope rope, but is great for multi-pitch and lead climbing. I used to climbing from the desert to patagonia and high recommend that."
