Light, handles well
This has been my main rope for trad and alpine routes the last two years. It handles well, is light and clips easy. So far, the dry treatment has held up. I got the 70m, which has come in very handy on occasion.

A Very Light Rope
The Beal Stinger III is very light rope. I have used it on many climbs and have been very satisfied with it. The dry treatment seems to last. I highly recommend this rope.

Feels great
Love this rope... I have the 60m and have used it for sport, trad and alpine climbing as well as glacier travel and I'm still here :) I picked it for its dry treatment, weight and handling which is fantastic right out of the bag. When belaying bigger people I use a bigger rope but most of my climbing partners are within about 50lbs of me so the Stinger is usually fine.

Super Light and Smooth
This is a great rope. I bought it for alpine climbing but have used it for sport and trad climbing as well. But watch out. This rope can scream through a trad belay device. Make sure your belayer has used this rope before or take a test fall so he or she can get the feel of this great rope before the real thing occurs or you may come down a lot faster than expected.

Great alpine rope
I love this rope! It is light and supple. I have the 60 meter version and have used it on alpine rock and glacier climbs with no complaints. My partners often coment on how nice it handles. It saved my friend Shawn's life when he fell on South Early Winters Spire. I give it 5/5
