Gear Review~Imlay Canyon Ropes

My new 8mm Imlay Canyon Rope performed really well.I think it was a few people’s first rap on a skinny rope and some friction concerns were raised and a fireman’s belay was employed.I don’t know if anyone noticed,but I insisted on being first down my rope under the pretext of having to be down there to take pictures.I just wanted to be first down my rope.The skill of the group is high and no wear is noticable. I had run the rope through my belay device a few times to take the shine off and stuffed it into an Imlay Canyon Rope Silo.The combo deployed without a snag and rope twist wasn’t a concern on decending.With a biner through the helmet strap the rope stacked nice and easy.Twenty-eight raps in one day for that rope.It’s a virgin no more. 200′ of 8mm in a small IC Gear Rope Silo leaves a bunch of room for a pullcord or your lunch.
