screaming deal on Roca IO 9.4 - ever used one?
|

Maybe they've gotten better, but the load of Roca ropes we bought once about 12 years ago turned out to be soft and have major sheath issues on about half of them. |

Check the shipping. Fixe tends to be a bit on the pricey side and no free shipping on sale items. |

$110 for a 9.9 70m seems like an OK deal though. |

It looks like the deal may have changed a bit: |

Any more info on these yet? |

I have a Roca rope. It's a IO, 9.4, 70m and I really like it. Before I purchased it I asked a long time climber friend (40yrs climbing) of mine about them. He said they were a good rope but because they were a Spanish manufacturer they were much better known in Europe than in the US. |
