Review on πŸ§— Essential GM CLIMBING 8mm (5/16in) Accessory Cord Rope: Durable Double Braid, CE/UIAA Certified by Issac Burnett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent UIAA certified accessory rope

Took this on a weekend trip and used to install some anchors. Very Durable/Versatile - Holds up great on the top rope, including multiple falls and big swings. Still flexible enough to be able to tie knots/loops including triple fishtails to hold the ends together. I got this because at some places I climb my 20ft tether wasn't long enough to reach over the edge of the cliff - that's enough. I would align my pieces where I wanted the master point and carnation to intertwine. For those worried about the UIAA ratings, look for this product on their website - it's listed with a valid license. Unfortunately this is not mentioned in the packaging/product info - the consumer doesn't really have to confirm this, but at least it is rated/approved. It would also be nice if the ends of the rope were marked with licenses and a strength class - I know this isn't usually the norm for a line like this, but it would give confidence that it's actually certified to make your life easier save an accident. . falls.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
