Greg_W Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 They're good. I've used them once. One of my climbing partners has used them. I want a pair. Take my $.02 for what it's worth. Quote
RuMR Posted July 23, 2003 Author Posted July 23, 2003 yeah...i saw their 60m by 8.6 was goin at 160 bux a PAIR! Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 Gotta be concerned about the durability of such a product. Look at them La Roca ropes ... they're dirt cheap, but they've got the softest hand ever. You can just see the core wearing out in half a season. Quote
erik Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 ropes last?? i buy the cheap ones and trash them dont feel too bad about it either. i figure about 2 ropes a year. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 Why not spend an extra 60 bucks and spring for a good rope that'll last a couple years instead? Better economix in the long-term. Quote
erik Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 NOT WHEN YOU AID ON THEM, JUG ON THEM. DRAG THEM THRU ALL HELL AND BACK. PLUS I AM FAT AND I FALL ALOT. Quote
chris Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 Lanex Ropes SUCK!!! I have two friends who have tried them out. One fellow bought a single and the rope was so stiff and funky after a half-dozen climbs that he threw it away. Second fellow purchased a twin pair of 60 meters, and had to turn them into 50 meters after rapelling on them for the first time. Both of these guys are excellent climbers, and I don't believe it was operator error! Quote
