Summary
Feeds great. This rope is a great size for a thinner workhorse option.
Pros
- Feeds great
- Good size
- Awesome color
- Great value
I use this rope as my go-to option if I can only take one rope with me to the crag. The Lightning Pro feeds great on belay, clips smoothly, and the color definitely pops in pics too, which is a bonus.
I have taken some whippers on this rope, and it is elastic enough to give me a soft catch, but durable enough to withstand all the route projecting I use it on.
I climb primarily sport routes in dry climates, and I haven't tested the dry-treated options
