I am begging to lead indoors and need a rope. I've narrowed it down to these. Any input? (They are all 40m)

Petzl Contact 9.8

Beal Tiger Unicore 10

Sterling VR9 9.8

Edelrid Boa Gym 9.8

Don't overthink this.  They are all fine.  Get what's in stock, on sale, or comes in your favourite colour.

If you can find a 50m rope at a good price (Go Outdoor / Decathlon / local climbing shop sale), don't discount it as you can use the same rope on outdoor crags.

What rope length is required for the climbing walls you use? Many only require 30 metres. A relatively cheap 30m rope from your local climbing store, Go Outdoors or Decathlon could do the job.

My little cal Decathlon had a few indoor ropes on sale on Saturday.
