John Willard's review
I rock this thinner rope for my ice climbs. I'll ONLY use this rope on ice and it won't see rock. Since ice has less things for the rope to be roughed up on (ice and snow is smooth), I'll go thinner. I enjoy the quality of this rope and how nimble it is for knots and belaying. 10/10!
