If I had to choose one rope to go from the Himalayas to craging in Cali., this would be the rope. Before the airliner was introduced, I would only order this rope from my controller @ maxim (I repped them for 10 years)
Light enough for sport
Sturdy enough for trad climbing through roofs
Colorful enough for great pictures.
Pick your poison, just make sure if you drink the cool aide, you're tied in first.
