OK my second rope was an edelweiss ally. it haas had a long life but was horrible to handle. was 10.3mm and felt like 11+mm. it was very wirey (some people like that) but i have also found the core and sheath have twisted and stretched about each other so has constant kinks in it. the entire rope is like its a flat bit of spaghetti now 2 years later.
since then i have had a bue water eliminator 10.2mm and its been so so good, never had any dramas cept the cut from a sharp edge, was very cheap too. ive got another blue water again!
ive used alot of other peoples ropes and brands, and ive found the cheap eliminator to be the best handling so far

my bad experience with Edelweiss means ill never get another one.
