Hello, I need a new 60m rope for mixed alpine routes and glacier travel. The two i have narrowed it down to are the joker and the revelation, I would like to know (from somebody who actually uses either rope) what the good and bad points are to them, just to help ease my difficult decision. Thanks
In reply to balongworth: I've had a joker for about 3 years. I've used it for trad and winter (sometimes doubled with a cobra) and alpine / glacier travel. Can't think of any bad points.
In reply to balongworth: I've got a revelation but I only use it for summer stuff. I love it, it handles really well and doesn't weigh much. I use it loads up the mountains. Never used Beal ropes so can't offer a comparison unfortunately.
