I am on my third one and have not had a problem with any of them. They last a long time and I can always find one on sale.

Hell, if they were any good you'd still be on the first one.

named old tangle right out of the bag.
knots up tangles the most of any rope I've had or worked with.

I really really like my beal rope. But my sterling was better. I would buy both again.

I like my beal, especially for the price; really liked some sterling ropes I have used too though. Oh, and my beal seems more elastic than most other ropes I have used, if this concerns your decision.

I've owned two of them and love them, they're very durable ropes-needless to say one of the two ended up in a 60+ foot pine tree on the side of the first flatiron a few years ago.

You looking for a deal? Bluewater has decent ropes for a good deal on a couple of sites. Of course the best are Sterling and Mammut. But you will pay for em. :wink:
