The Trango Agility 9.1mm Rope: Red Flags are a good thing

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.
