Great rope. I'm using it as my lead line right now. I have the safe control version, and it's awesome. It's really really light and easy to clip with. It runs through a gri gri like butter.

First fall on a beal rope was kinda scary cause of the stretch, but you come to get use to it and thankful. beal is known for their stretchyness.

Definately the best rope i've used. The stats compare up to higher diameters as well.

only drawback is look out for when you're lowering, unexpectingly quick.

The saddle ridge on these makes it sit like a lock. Disappointed that these don't have numbers or colours on the nut, but it works alright.

Problem is, for anyone who seconds you, they will soon hate you to death. These things are so damn hard to get out.

Good for leaders, sucks to be the 2nd =P

These draws are so good. Easy as hell to clip in with, and light enough to just carry all your draws all the time if you really wanted to.

I wish I had more.
