skinner ropes tend to increase the impact force on pieces so i would think about that as well.

 

ummm...i think you are a little backward on that one Erik...as the rope gets larger, it slides towards the more static end of behavior...wanna fall on a rubber band (skinny) or a steel cable (big fat rope)???

 

Larger diameter ropes have larger impact forces... wave.gif

The only Beal rope I ever had was WAY soft and had a lousy sheath on it. I never bought another.

 

For doubles, I've been liking the Edelweiss Stratos. They have a good solid sheath and are stiffer than most ropes their diameter. They also have a filament in them that means they are resistent to being cut over an edge, and they are pretty strong. Hell, I even lead on a single one some times though, properly speaking, they aren't rated for it. You don't often see deals on these, though (they actually cost way MORE than other similarly sized ropes).

 

Yes, I know: this thread isn't about doubles. But Minx asked.
