Beal Zenith 9.5 - Any good?

Does anyone have any good or bad experiences with this rope? The reviews that I can find are very few and pretty vague.

Great rope!

I picked up an 80 last fall, only have about 7 days on it so far, mostly working overhanging sport. Can't comment on sheath durability yet. Softest impact force of any rope I've ever used, seriously it's like falling into a cloud (regular falls on edelrid Boa 9.8, beal joker 9.1, sterling nanao 9.0 to compare). \

The unavoidable downside of that low impact force, it stretches like holy hell. I would not recommend using this rope if you TR frequently or climb a lot of ledge terrain. 

Thanks, guys. I should have clarified, I need an 80M for long limestone sport routes. Cheers. 

any update on this? I can find it for very cheap but zero reviews online.

thanks

I split an 80m with a friend for plastic. Great cord! Feeds and locks in the Gri 2 and Gri 3 well.  A bit skinny for 9.5 but it's held up better than expected (indoor use only).

I have the Edelrid Swift Protect 8.9 in 80m and love it for redpoint burns and desert towers. The Beal Stinger 9.4 Unicore is an excellent rope for these purposes as well. 

I've had mine a year and a half and used it pretty extensively. Sheath is still in good shape. It seems to get dirty pretty easily. Definitely very stretchy.

thanks. having a hard time deciding between the Mammut Crag Classic 9.5 (25 euros more expensive) and the Zenith 

I’d get a one of the Beal Unicore especially for climbing on sharp limestone.

+1, I've been very happy with every Beal Unicore I've owned over the years. Tiger 10mm, Stinger 9.4, Joker 9.1 and Opera 8.5.

If Edelrid ever makes a 9.5 aramid version of the Swift Protect 8.9, that will be a game-changer.
