I do like my Blue Water Dominator. It's a nice colour. ...... and is super light.... handles equally well on sport and trad... and has crunched and ground it's way up a good number of gritty routes with no noticeable sheath wear. It are a very lovely rope.

All in all, no complaints, a nice rope, won't mind buying it the next time round. _________________ Live fast, die young & leave a good looking corpse

But the Roca... I have to agree with AdK on that one. _________________ you have one mouth, two ears. listen more...

I'll try and upgrade to a Bluewater as soon as I can actually climb something _________________ Silly games. I've been around since 2006, and what's wrong with toproping 16's anyway?
