Opinions on ropes

Time for a new rope. Sportclimbing exclusively, good amounts of whipping/projecting. |
|
Just to be a little bit more precise ... |

I love my Beal joker w Unicore, but it’s admittedly for trad/alpine stuff and unicore is less key for sport climbing. That said, I’ve never been disappointed w Beal (on my 5th rope w them). Anything but black diamond... |

I wouldn't recommend the Joker for projecting. In my experience, the sheath is not particularly durable. As an alpine or multi pitch trad rope, it rocks. |

I've had success with edelrid for a workhorse. mammut has great feel, but only used the serenity as a gym rope. +1 though for beal. i only buy beal ropes now. the AAC discounts help a lot with that though... |

Out of all those i would get the topaz |

If I was you, I would avoid Petzl ropes, I have owned two and both sheaths wore out very quickly. I have used the Tendon Master 7.0 twins a fair amount and really like them, but I don't know how that translates to the 9.2 size. |

FYI Tendon and Beal are usually cheapest at Epic TV, if price factors into your choice. |

Topaz super nice....they're coming out with another 9.2 next year, just saw it at OR....bit more supple....but I have the Topaz in a 60 and 70...durable, liked it, tad stiffer than some.....but great rope if you're going to whip repeatedly on a slightly skinnier model than some.... |
