Deciding whether to spring for the Trango Agility 9.1 is a little tricky. Its scores in most of the usual areas we measure climbing rope performance were less than outstanding. At the same time, its price is rather high. Ordinarily, this would equate to it being a poor value. However, its distinctive RED FLAG markings do provide a clear safety benefit. If you would like to reduce the likelihood of a lowering or rappeling accident and can afford the added cost, the Agility 9.1 could be an excellent choice.
The Trango Agility 9.1mm is a well-rounded rope, but without its innovative RED FLAG features, I would consider the rope pretty average. With the outdoors booming thanks to COVID, outdoor gear has also been booming and innovating quickly. The Agility isn’t necessarily lighter, more durable, or more innovative than its competition. However, for the price and the features, the Trango Agility should definitely be one of your considerations! I look forward to my Agility proving me wrong the longer I use it.
It is sad and scary for me to hear and read of so many accidents each year involving rappelling and lowering. Though easy to say, "Just tie a knot in the end of the rope and the problem is solved," reality is not always so cut and dry. Knots can get caught in cracks on windy days when rappelling, and as much as we are encouraged to do so, most climbers I see at the crag do not tie knots in the end of their ropes. Red ends are just one more needed step toward keeping us fallible human beings from making mistakes. As I have aged, I can much more readily admit that I can be quite forgetful at times. "Where are my keys?" "Did I remember to turn on my morning alarm?" "What day is it?" For this reason, and because of the incredible handle-ability, the Trango Agility 9.1mm with Red Flags is my new rope.
