Metolious Monster

Post by **Cleveland** » Mon May 05, 2008 11:14 pm

Does anyone use the Metolious Monster rope? My buddy was thinking of getting one, and I was just wanting some feedback on how people like this rope. Any help is greatly appreciated. Especially the sarcastic kind

No idea. However, I'll say that my new Maxim Apex 9.9 70 is the first rope I've ever used that refused to kink. Even after pulling it thru the "one quick link" anchors at Volunteer Wall...

That's pretty damn impressive. What's the rope stretch like on a fall?

Truthfully, after a few weeks use, its killin the Sterling Rope I used to climb on... and I loved the Sterling. I haven't paid specific attention to the stretch during a fall. Feels average, whatever that is.

The other thing I'm diggin is that it doesn't take on aluminum like other ropes. The double dry treatment wasn't slick at all (which I was afraid of)... but seems to keep it cleaner.

i won a monster rope as a door prize at a comp. we used it for a weekend, and are now trying to sell it. the rope seemed fine; however, ours was a 10.2, which is a bit thick for my taste..

Hey tank how much you want for it?

Good ropes, but the ones I have owned have had issues with the sheath doing funny things like getting bunched up and causing weird lumps in the rope. Metolius replaced my first one and I just stopped using the 2nd one. Edelweiss is the superior rope.

I have a 60m 10.2 and the sheath seems to fray easily. I liked my Mammut better.
