Has anyone got any experience of using Fixe ropes? I've seen some half ropes for a decent price, but I've not heard much about them.

Can anyone comment on their handling and longevity?

Cheers.

I used a 9.4 in Spain for a couple of months, involving lots of falls.

i really like it and it’s stood up to abuse well so far. So much so I’ve bought a pair of halves too but they’re still in their packaging.

My sport rope is a Fixe Roca 60m

+ handles well, doesn't tangle too much

- A touch slick (but this may improve with a different belay plate.)

Can't say too much on longevity as i've only used it inside for ~5 sessions and outside for 10 or so.

I bought a 70m Fixe Roca ( I think) single rope 10 years ago.  Not used very regularly but still going strong and handling well.
