Ropes
i've used a beal booster 9.7 60m for the last couple of years. it's a great rope only i wish i could upgrade to a 70.
60m just doesn't cut it anymore on some of those long single pitches on the chief where u haul a tag only to barely need it...
as for the 9.7, well, it's good for gear climbing. for sport i would prolly go 9.4 or something.

order the a BONE DRY rope (in whatever size - length x width) from espirit ropes
and get the firefly option
they drip the last two feet on the ends and two feet in the middle in a glow-in-the-dark paint
i may order a set of halves from them this summer
Ok prices

in cast you never held of espirit (don't see em much in canada
i've climbed with one of their gear reps afew times in squish.....i've used multiple ropes fresh out of the bag....theyre great...stopped my a$% from decking afew times...
nothing like doing an approach with a brand new 60m rope still in the package in your backpack.....get that 'new rope smell' fresh at the crag/wall.....breath taking i assure you
