Decent rope for the price

It goes without saying, the price of the rope is incredible, therefore the handling needs to be viewed in a different light than the handling of a 200 pound rope.
I've been using the rope for 2 years now, somewhat regularly, both indoors and outdoors. It's still in perfect condition, very little wear. It's mostly stayed dry in that time, apart from 2-3 occasions, where it obviously got a lot heavier as it isn't DRY treated.

The biggest downside is that the handling of the rope is pretty terrible. It feels quite stiff, twists very easily and easily triggers the self blocking mechanism of a grigri, significantly worse than any other rope I've ever used.
Essentially, you need to reorganize the rope after every second belay, otherwise you end up with a horribly twisted rope thats hard to use. If done however, its actually quite alright.
For the first year of using the rope, I used it exclusively indoors where it remained stiff the entire time. After taking it outdoors a couple of times (which roughed it up a little) the handling improved significantly, funnily enough.
I'd personally buy the rope again quite happily, just because of the price tag. In the end it does the same as ropes which are more than double in price

Does the job

Had this rope for a little while now. It does what a climbing rope should do I guess. Goes through my draws nicely, goes through the belay tube nicely. And caught my two leader falls. So I'd say excellent for the price.

Great feel, stretch, hardwearing, quality.......

Love this rope, bought it for top roping. Bought 60m for the same price as 50m and use it constantly. Great finish and goes through the Grigri no problem at all. Coils nicely as very supple.

Rope

The rope came on time and looks perfect, as described. I have not got to use it yet due to the pandemic virus but I am looking forward to getting out.
