great price for rope, reputable company...comes with a bag too. since it is not wet-treated, my concerns are it will be subject to more wear and tear than a treated rope. I like the middle of rope marker (two large black bands on a light yellow rope makes it pretty easy to see).

I was looking into the Mammut ropes, but didn't want to drop over 200 on something that I might not like. so when I saw this on sale, a nice even 10mm rope with a rope bag I figured this can't really go wrong. then when I got it, I was happy I bought it. the sheathing on the Mammut is ultra smooth and it has good flex... plus Mammut says that their end seals make it 0% sheath slip... so we will see about that over time... but excellent buy for a new climber or even an experience climber on a tight budget... only downfall... its not dry treated... but I don't expect to get that for [$]

I was expecting a 10.4 rope because that was what was advertised, when it came it was a 10.0 which for me still worked out, but it was a bit shocking to see it wasn't the exact same size it claimed to be.
Nice rope for the money. Pretty light compared to my 10.4 Dry rope. I use this rope top roping with the kids and it works great.

I used this rope for a few days on some short top-roping routes in Wyoming and South Dakota. I have no complaints. One half of the rope got a little fuzzy after a few hours of one section, but I assume that is normal after dragging over rock for a few hours (off the beaten path, creating our own anchors).
I bought it for the price and was pleased. It feels good and the center is marked. The bag is a nice bonus. This rope wore out sooner than others I have had but is still a great value especially for someone just starting out.

I bought this rope as my first climbing rope. The low price and included storage bag was a huge plus. Later I found out the difference between a dry rope and a standard rope. Because this rope doesn't have a dry treatment, it wears more quickly and gets soiled faster. Perfect for beginners, but should definately retire after a couple of years of standard use.

A good first purchase for people just getting into climbing. Value for the price is just right for an entry level climber.
