PMI Spire 10.2mm Rope: Dry to the Core
I'm still climbing with the Spire, six months in, and have seen no signs of sheath wear or damage, and no lessening of the dry coating's effectiveness. Despite the slightly greater weight, this rope will not be removed from my "climbing-gear-in-use closet" and added to my dog's ever-growing "rope rug" anytime soon. Because of the inexplicable weight difference between this rope and other similar ropes, I'm shying away from five stars, but it deserves high marks in all other categories.
Pros: Great feel and handling once broken in; superior dry-coating; durable.
Cons: Heavy for its length and diameter.
