In reply to SamSimpson:
No in Scottish winter, but have in the summer 2017. My complaints:
- Lots of people have non-compatible belay devices. So I got a second microjul. If you are mixing partners, you have to teach them how to use the microjul and that takes time and getting short-roped a lot while leading. (i see lots of newer belay devices now accept these thinner ropes, but not that common 2 years ago)
- I climbed a multipitch on sharp granite with somebody who apparently turned out to be pretty terrible at climbing. Got a core shot in the rope after two pitches. In all fairness for the rope, sharp edges and people hanging in the rope continuously will damage any rope and this is a very thin one.
- Prussics; slippery! Get some teethed devices for hauling/rescue.
I upgraded to a thicker rope. The Simond is shortened and in regular use with a buddy of mine. He hasn't seen that much additional wear on it.
