METOLIUS MONSTER 8.9MM ROPE

The Metolius Monster 8.9 has a really great hand. Not too stiff, not too floppy. This, combined with the slick sheath, makes for a really easy clip when you’re pumped. The sheath is tightly braided to help with durability. One of the really great new features that comes on this rope is the middle mark defined by short orange threads that stick out a few millimeters. This makes it possible to both see and feel the middle mark, adding to the safety of the rope. The only issue is if you have to cut the end off the rope, you now have a very permanent incorrect middle mark. The Monster 8.9 is rated for use as a single, twin, or half tope. This makes it really easy to take a pair of Monster 8.9 ropes on a multi-pitch route and use it as a single where it makes sense, and as a half rope where it makes sense. It’s always nice to have a set of two when faced with a long series of rappels.
