In reply to kipper12:
We’re currently doing a triple rated rope group test, which may or may not be of interest/relevance (I'm not actually involved with it - hence am a little out the loop regarding what's actually going to be featured within it).
When it comes to longer length ropes, I vary between my old Sterling Ion2 (which has been brilliant) and the 8.9mm Edelrid Swift Eco Dry that I reviewed a few years ago. Which one I use largely depends on what I’m doing. The latter is definitely more of an onsight rope though, as it’s clearly quite skinny - hence wouldn’t be my first choice for working routes (although I have done a bit of that with it, it’s not ideal).
I’ll be in the same situation as you once my Ion2 wears out though, as that 9.2-9.4mm bracket is a really versatile.
