ElectricDisciple: I am a big fan of Beal ropes. From their lineup I currently have a Top Gun (10.5) which I highly recomend, I love it!

I also have a edlinger 10.2 which is a fine rope, I like how the top gun handles and catches better, but if you are mostly clipping bolts perhaps the 10.2 would be better for you.

if you'd stop washing your rope every other weekend you wouldn't have that problem! :D

i have a blue water 10.2/70m and i love it.

you need to ask yourself how long of a rope you will want (50/60/70) and if weight matters then the diameter etc comes into play.

diggum, how's the leading going? when are you going to be my rope gun? :D

RRO, I'll drop by tonight. It might be a little late though...like 8:30, 9. If you aren't around I'll try to drop by tomorrow morning.

Thanks! :mrgreen:
