I meant to, no I meant to!" hahaha. |

can the mods please just delete this troll thread. |

The whole thread belongs in a playground. You chose the thread title intentionally misrepresenting the condition of your rope, in order to draw responses. |

Core shot implies physical damage to the rope sheath thus exposing the core, which most likely occurred while actually climbing. The alarmist tone in which you present you're case, the intentional misrepresentation seeking response, and you're overly-defensive tone in subsequent posts lead me to a number of rational assumptions about you, not many of which are positive. But that's ok, your entitled to you're opinion of me too. There's absolutely zero chance that you and I will ever climb together. You'd probably have an aneurysm if I showed up at the crag with my ebay cams and hexes. By chance are you a grammar natzi as well?No, core shot does not mean damage to the core. I own ebay cams and hexes. My original post is factual, where was my "intentional misrepresentation"? I don't think its defensive to point out posts like yours are a list of strung together lies. |

You got me there. I misread what you wrote. |

The title is a little misleading and hyperbolic, thus all the dipshit reactions. When I first clicked and looked at the pics, I thought, wow, this clown just doesn't know what a bicolor rope looks like, nor what a core shot is. The circles in the image look like you're drawing attention to the isolated black stitches in the color transition. Once a few replies accumulated that confirmed this view (that you didn't know what you were talking about), it just became easy and fun for the dipshits to pile on. I'd say this thread might be irreparably damaged. It has mostly become a venue in which dipshits seek to increase their status within the pool of dipshits. |

If you had a rope that looked like the one below, most people would assume it was a core shot. It has the same concerns and problems of a core shot rope. This isn't acceptable. |

I'll never have any validation around here. I don't climb hard, I don't post tick marks, I drink bitch beer, and I don't give a shit either. |

I actually don't think there's any air splicing going on here. I think air splicing only happen with a COLOR change not a Pattern Change. I've never actually noticed climbers differentiating between the two but I think the vast majority of ropes are really BI-PATTERN. Does anyone know of a True Bi-COLOR where the color changes completely? [Edit: Sterling looks to change at least one of the thread colors in it's BiColor ropes] |

Your discussion belongs in a playground and prove my points well.OK - I own said rope. 70M bicolor orange energy arc everydry. I have climb with a partner who owns this rope in 80M. Both have seen significant use over 3 seasons including being broken in during a 3 week trip to Kalymnos and Turkey. Both ropes are going strong. I tend not to take long falls much so I've not cut my rope and my buddy has cut 5 meters from both ends of his rope and its still going strong. I returned a Mammut rope (only other brand I use) about two years ago after climbing on it once and there being a crazy amount of sheath wear. The store took the rope back no questions asked (returned 72 hours after purchasing) because of the way it had worn and gave me a brand new rope which has performed flawlessly... It seems that everyone has at least one brand upon which they love to hate and those that can do no wrong.. |

So I took this condom out of the package, noticed a defect, used it 50 times anyway, then got on the Internet and misused terms, misunderstood definition common in boinking and complained a whole lot. I notified the manufacturer. Now I have 12 kids. |

So I'd like to add to this so I can help with a compilation of why edelwiss is putting out crap for products. Below is a picture of my 70m curve (that i got on sale for cheap go figure) after about 6 climbing days. Yes it's taken some falls and yes it's been on some sharp lime stone but I still think the fact that core can be seen shows obscenely poor quality. I usually don't post in forums but I see this as a safety issue. I'm not exactly making a ton of money right now so buying this was a bit of an investment and here I am realizing I'll need a new one already. So I'll put this out as a PSA these ropes are a joke. My Sterling lasted forever and still might have life but has too much use to be a primary lead line. I certainly will be contacting the company but I felt as though it was important to contribute to the already long list of people on MP posting about problems with Edelwiss ropes. Also the retailers putting these on sale for very cheap are equally if not more responsible. I find it very concerning that these ropes got cheap when complaints coming up. Yes all the ones have resulted in wear and we as climbers are the ones ultimately responsible for inspecting our gear but there's always the chance that something could go horribly wrong for someone as a result of this poor quality so I feel responsible for sharing this information. |
