Looking for a New Rope

I like the Mammut line up so much that is all I will even consider buying now. Prices are good, I like their durability and handling characteristics, and reputation as well. I have had nothing but good luck with all of their ropes and mine seem to wear like iron, handle well, tie knots easily, untie when desired easily, etc.

I love my 60m 10.3mm Eldrid Cobra. Takes tons of abuse and looks brand new. It's silky smooth too, though that's a bit of a downside as it can slip a bit in a grigri. The only major downside is its heavy as balls. Very easy to untangle, never kinks. Awesome awesome awesome.

Edit: I met the international sales representative for Sterling once. He had the best job in the world I swear to buddah.

If durabiity and feel are important to you and you are willing to pay top $$$, here are two (10mm, 70m, dry, bi-color/pattern) -
Mammut Galaxy 10mm 70M SuperDry Duodess, Sterling BiAthlon Pro 10.1mm 70m Dry.
The BiAthlon is very light in spite of its diameter.

Why do people feel the need to answer a question 2 1/2 years later? Wtf. I suspect he already bought a rope by now. Geez.

At Greg D. Why do you need to comment on a 2 1/2 year old thread? Dork.

Because you touch yourself.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
