Best climbing rope?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What brand, type, and size of rope do you guys use for climbing? I am new to this and would like to invest in some rope for recreational climbing, but after doing some research, there is just too many to chose from. I would rather rely on the opinions of experienced pros. Right now I have some PMI static Kernmantle 11mm that was gave to me. This stuff is pretty stiff, not sure if that is good or bad for climbing. Thanks in advance for your input.
Been using a newer rope from Baileys - Black Max, love it so far (4 months).
very supple, easy to flip, handle, knots, excellant holding on friction knots - very trust worthy. zero problems with decent is tangled trees/ground clutter.
kernmantle will drop your butt as a climbing line, knots will loosen up and it burns easily, very prone to stiffen up if short sections take to force of weight, however works great for zip line, or when 200' or more of line is needed for lowering(low stretch)..
