You have to ask the question WHY IS IT CHEAP? what fibers is it made from? why does it only conform to a Marlow Rope Standard and not to the European CE EN1891 A or B standard like every other climbing rope on the market? Invest your money in a product which has proven its self time and time again and offers good prolonged life.

Hi I have a Marlow gecko rope and its nice to climb on. .

 

I would say that you do have to treat it gently when pulling it though as the strands are not tightly woven .If it gets caught on snags it can pull the rope apart and sever the strands this happened on my first rope within a week it had done this . they did exchange it for me . my second gecko has faired a bit better but again the same problem is happening .

 

When I buy another rope I will be going for a more expensive one as this one is not lasting very long.

 

hope this helps
