Your thoughts on a good thin rope?

Hi guys,

So I'm looking for a sweet thin sport rope. (brah)

I already have a nice 10mm rope for trad and a dry coat rope for ice. Both of which I got for a really good deal.

Basically I'm looking for a nice supple thin rope for redpointing [edit] hard stuff. Cheaper would be nice but isn't a priority. I'm a super light (125 lb) climber so I think a thin rope could work really well for me. Obviously, I'm looking for a single rope not twin or half.

So...what do you suggest??

for projecting? no need to go too thin (9.5-9.8 just my opinion, man). For the redpoint, I'm looking forward to Sterling's new nano IX, 9.0

Fair enough...I actually meant redpointing. Thanks for clarifying. The Nano looks sweeeeet.

Clocking in at 135-140, when in good climbing shape, I have always enjoyed the benefits of thinner ropes....
Sport climbing, yes, but predominantly trad.
The Edelweiss Performace 9.1 and the Mammut Revelation 8.9 have both been good to me.
Both proved to be durable with better handling going to the Edelwiess, IMO.
The Mammut has a firmer sheath and probably gets the slight nod on durability.

Blue water Icon 9.1mm.

I been using one for nine months maybe. I'm couple pounds heavier than you.

I’ve been using a petzl joker 9.2 for a year, It’s seen many top ropes and some big lead falls. I’ve rapped off trees and it’s run over rough edges. I check it as often as one should (every time you coil!!!) and it’s in great shape. I don’t think that the difference in strength between 9.2 and 9.8 is really enough for any climber to notice in any reasonable fall. If you’re in an area with really really sharp edges and coarse rock maybe you should use a larger diameter but i'd doubt it makes much of a difference. Don’t use any rope on fixed gear you haven’t inspected first.

My roommate and I use the sterling nano 9.2 full-time. It's a great rope and I haven't had any issues with it yet.

I've been using the Edelweiss Performance 9.2 for the last couple of months almost every day I've gotten out and I've had no issues with wear. It's also the best handling rope I've ever used.

Bluewater dominator 9.4 is the thin cord I've been climbing on lately, they are usually affordable and they have great hand and both my dominator and my lightning pro (9.7) have taken a beating and are still in good shape.

We use a mammut revelation 9.2mm for everything. Handles well, light, loads in the reverso easily, seems to last. I hate lugging around fat ropes. I wish I had bought one with the dual pattern, as our center mark was gone in a day.
