Review on Syiswei 12MM Rock Climbing Rope: Versatile, Durable, and Safe for Outdoor Activities by Todd Cowdrey

Revainrating 1 out of 5

"BEWARE OF THE HUGE DANGER DURING THE DOWNING "

"WARNING HIGH DANGER" This is my first time using this rope with DRT. I didn't notice any problems during the ascent. On the descent I had a huge safety issue. I've found that the rope's outer sleeve quickly stretches, detaches from the inner core, twists under my Blake hitch, causing my Blake hitch to get stuck and the sleeve to bind. I had to pull myself up to release Blake's grip, straighten the folded outer shell, get back down, and then get stuck again a few meters down. I had to do this several times to get down to earth. I learned my lesson well that this rope is not for climbing. It might be good for other things, but definitely not for climbing.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • weak
