Comments about BlueWater Ropes Inc 10.2 mm x 60 m Eliminator Rope - Standard:

I've been using this rope for a couple seasons. It's handling is too stiff for my tastes and is prone to tangles. It also seems my hands get more black using this rope than my old Mammut. This means it's eating through my hardware. Perhaps a dry coating would help with these short comings.

Comments about BlueWater Ropes Inc 10.2 mm x 60 m Eliminator Rope - Standard:

Love Bluewater ropes. They outlast & over perform others. (Example:)A loved one tried to surprise me last year with a rope & they bought me the Petzyl Zephyr & after climbing on it a few times, with no big falls the inner sheath was thru the outer core of the rope. Petzyl did replace the rope but I have not felt safe since on the Petzyl ones. I have climbed on BlueWater ropes for 15+ years & they are great!!

I bought the rope because of my experiences with blue water ropes.They seem to last longer than most,and are very good handling ropes.I love it,and my next rope will be the same or very similiar B.W. rope.
