Reid Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Where are the hot rope deals to be found? Online or Seattle area. I'm looking for a cragging rope so 60m x 10.x mm preferrably dry. So far the best I've found is REI.com at $139. I'm having a hard time believing that REI has the best price around right now. Quote
hemp22 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 REI does occasionally have good deals during their sales - like the $60 60M rope a few of us picked up last year. For current best prices, try checking out www.spadout.com - to see which sites have the best deals - pretty easy if if you know what diameter you're looking for. (Cheapest 60M I see right now is a Beal 10.2 for $119 at alpenglowgear) Quote
Off_White Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Is Bill Coe no longer keeping his cheap rope thread up? That was a damn fine public service while he babysat it. Thanks Bill Quote

geoff Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 5 falls? How the funk do you only get 5 falls when similar width ropes get 11? Quote
billcoe Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 5 falls? How the funk do you only get 5 falls when similar width ropes get 11? maybe they hired Ivan, Shaq or the Jolly Green Giant to test them? Quote
