I forgot to mention its 11mm. sort of like bridge cable (thick and heavy).

All the girls like them thick and heavy, or so I've heard.

11mm too thick, 70m is great if you like 60 ft of rope on the ground for 95% of the raps in the Red

hey ben, anyway I would use the rope for leading still. i would suspect that it is in fine shape, especially at 11mm. i used a rope for 7 years before retireing it. i know what the manufactuars say but they are just covering their asses.

however if you have the money get a skinny 60 or 70m rope. 11mm and 50m ropes suck. they are heavy and too short in many places. get a bi-pattern rope too, so convinient...
