Good household rope. Good carabiners! NO ALPINE ROPE!

Nice rope for rope purposes. I wouldn't bet my life on it; it does not have the correct rating/certification. I don't endorse what they call climbing rope. In my opinion it's more of a utility rope and I have it in my truck and use it often for everything from securing loads to pulling cars out of the snow. The sewn-on eyelets are rubbish and will deform over time and need to be trimmed. It comes with some nice steel carabiners that are probably worth without the rope. Think 15 KN. this is the minimum breaking load (MBS) of the rope, not the working load (WL) which is 3kN. Using it above his WL causes fatigue, which eventually leads to a breakdown below his MBS. A climbing rope can experience forces in excess of 3 kN in normal use, so you should not use it as a climbing rope. Another reason you wouldn't use it as a climbing rope is that it doesn't meet the same rigorous manufacturing and testing standards as climbing ropes. So use it and abuse it for everything else, but don't hang your life on it.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
