An all around winner!
I am an experienced Trad/Sport climber from NC and I have only great things to say about this rope. It is perfect weather you are just staring out and enjoy the security of a thicker rope or you dont have the money to keep dropping on thinner ropes. The thinner the diameter the quicker the sheath will become dagamged. The burly nature of this well priced rope is perfect for sending hard sport lines or great to take out and drag through cracks and corners of multi pitch gear lines. Not to mention that if you have not tried products from Edelrid take this oppertunity and you will not be sorry. I myself climb exclusivly on their ropes and would not have it any other way. When Im trying to send a challenging route that requires all of my focus and power the last thing I want to have to worry about is the rope catching me...

Better safe than sorry!
My climbing buddy bought this rope at REI and we have been using it for a good two months or so. We mostly climbed with it outside, on average 3 days per week. We are more concerned about safety than about weight, that´s why we always use at least 10mm ropes with thick sheaths. The drawback of thicker ropes is that they often become "stiff". Well, this one doesn´t! I guess that Thermo Shield or whatever it is called really works, lol. Even after many sessions ours still looks pretty decent and not as beat up as our last ropes. I think it is a great deal. For less than $150 you get a workhorse with good handling! On a sidenote, we don´t climb harder than mid/high 12s. Maybe you want a thinner rope if you are aiming for the 13s.
