Durable Rope Recommendation

[rock-ice]

Hey all- I have got some good advice here over the years, so I thought I would try my luck again. I am looking to retire my current workhorse all-around rope and get a new one. I need a rope with a strong sheath (I climb on quartzite) which I can also use on ice (some sorta water resistance). I am hoping to spend less than my weekly wages. . . any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

 

Ropes I've looked at:

NE Equinox

Edelweiss Element II

Of those two? Get the Element. Get a Mammut Supersafe if you want total burl and longevity.

Price of the Element II is very good. I would go for 60mm option. Mammut Supersafe is great but you can't find it below 230$.

Supersafe or Millet Triaxiale (10+) are good bets.
