Rope Recommendations

You can't go wrong with bluewater or sterling. I have both and love them!

During routine testing to the UIAA Safety Standard 108 Sharp Edge Resistant Dynamic Ropes, at the UIAA-approved test laboratories, discrepancies were found in test results for the same rope at different laboratories. Until this problem is resolved, the testing of ropes against this safety standard has been suspended at all test laboratories as from 1st July 2004. Models of rope already certified “Sharp Edge Resistant” will retain that status until 31st December 2005." Manufacturers are not allowed to claim their ropes passed the UIAA test after the above date. It was a completely worthless test anyway!

Im a huge fan of the Blue Water 9.7 DD lightning pro and the 9.9 DD pulse.

Also heard great things about the 9.4 hyalite but havent used it myself.

I have used mammut for 30+ years. The flash 10.5 is workhorse and lasts forever. the galaxy 10mm is a great , lighter rope

I am just looking for recommendations. Im looking at Blue Water, Sterling, Elderid, New England.

And for the record I've used two sterling ion 9.5's, sterling htp static ropes, and I'm waiting to use a new pair of sterling fusion photon half/twin's
