In the fall of 2014, when Kitty Calhoun and I made our gear list for climbing Tangerine Trip, a big-wall aid route on El Cap in Yosemite, it was I who said “I got the lead rope”. I had been climbing with my 9.8mm Evolution Velocity for a summer and it had proven itself with strength, durability, and handling.
