Its one of my least favorite ropes, but I almost always get a PMI. Bad side, its super stiff and takes forever to break in, but the rope lasts a long time.
Can't we all just get along?

rags, do you climb more sport or trad?
if trad, you don't need a new rope, since the leader never falls.
if sport, only retire when the core is showing and several threads are broken.
Positive vibes brah...positive vibes.

Go to Wal-Mart and get that yellow stuff that floats.

My Sterling Bandit has been used and used. You know, belay 'ho and all.....
I really like it, Rick Faulkener recommended it to me.
What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

Buy one from RRO .My new Maxim is the shiznickity. Beals stretch too much.Piggy,trad is just as tough on rope as sport. The routes wander and the rope drags over rock.
