likewise - the most recent ropes I got were 2 x Beal 8.5mm & a 9.8mm Petzl - but mainly because I couldn't get Mamut ropes here. The Beals seem ok, I mostly used them climbing ice, so they've had a relitavely gentle life so far. The Petzl seems good also, but I've only climbed on it for ~4 months, so time will tell as to how it wears.
I coiled my Mamuts, put them in rope bags, twisted them, jugged on them, lead, fell - everything & they still last the longest. |
