I don’t think the test is that bad. Sure with the jumar the failure is pretty spectacular but isn’t the point that the unicore didn’t fail.

Even putting aside jumar situations I can imagine a number of scenarios that are pretty close to that....sure the standard rope may perform better than in the test but sh#t....if I was ever in one of those situations (touch wood never) I sure know which kind of rope I’d rather be tied into.

In general I’m a bit of an anti gear junkie and never follow developments and couldn’t give much of a shit about a few grams here or there. But seeing this recently really has made me think I won’t buy another rope that I’d use outside without this kind of treatment. Do any other brands do anything similar?
