Rope brands 9-Jul-2003 At 2:19:19 AM fruityarse

As a new climber who has just taken up the sport, I am getting roped in (pardon the pun) more and more I climb. My apologies for this "basic" question - a search on this site yielded no answer, so here goes:

What rope/s are considered to be the better ones on the market? Weighing in at a hefty (for a climber) 84 kg, I am interested specifically in single ropes and of a larger diameter, mainly for sport climbing.

I am currently living and working OS in Asia where I can't seem to get a straight answer - each shop recommends a different brand! Sure, ropes are ropes and pass all the appropriate tests before being allowed on the market - but surely there are some brands which have better reputations, usage records etc.. than others?

Stumbled on this site by accident - it rocks!
