Tendon Smart Lite 9.8

the rope is cheap but good. A bit stiff for my taste.

This rope is super easy to handle, which makes it an ideal rope for beginners. As a beginner, I didn’t want to break the bank on prices and thought this might mean that I would ultimately sacrifice a bit of quality . As far as I can tell, this hasn’t been the case, the rope feeds very bell through any belay devices, the diameter is small enough to feed a bight through ring bolts and the rope hasn’t kinked once. Would absolutely recommend for a first rope!

Overall this rope is a class rope. I've only had this rope for 2 months and it's been used only outdoors maybe about 15 times. So far it's been great, nice to clip, handle and belay with. Obviously would be nice to have a dry coating but as long as you're careful with where you dump your rope, it's not a big deal. The small yellow tape on the ends of the ropes do come off but honestly doesnt bother me as I'm pretty sure I can remember the length of my rope. For the price you pay, you really can't say anything bad about this rope. Would highly recommend as a first rope.

Perfect first rope. Does what it should for a great value!

For this prize is ok. Nice.

Una cuerda de muy buena calidad a un precio increible. Estoy muy contento con mi compra.

Good diameter, easy to handle and going throw the belay device smoothly. I think it is a perfect rope for beginners and advanced climbers as well. Nice color, high quality product and very good pricing.

Thick enough to feel super safe on hard routes, great price. Runs smoothly through belay devices and if you're carefully not to toss it on the ground without a tarp will last you for a long time. Although the green is a little bit more pale in reality than in the picture which could maker harder to spot on the wall if there is vegetation nearby, but again, this is a sport climbing rope, get out of the bushes and climb on!

I did the purchase about a year ago. Soft texture.

This is the first ever rope I've purchased and it's great. It was a great price and works perfectly with the GriGri. We use it indoors at the moment but hoping to progress to taking it outdoors later this summer.

I purchased the 70m for my first ever climbing rope and so far I am still alive! It's a great rope, perfect diameter to be a little more light weight but still durable enough for a beginner rope.

I've bought this rope as my 1st climbing rope ever, and so far I haven't come up with any reason to be unsatisfied. It runs smooth through belay devices (I personally use an ATC or Smart Alpine), does what it's supposed to do and for that price is an absolute bargain. Yes, it isn't waterproof or anything like that, but you wouldn't expect that from such an affordable rope, would you?

Cheap yet great rope. Used it for toprope and lead climbing and didn't feel bad about it. The outer layer don't seem to pickup dirt that easily too which is good !

My first rope and very happy with it.

Great rope as expected! This should be your first rope as a beginner in my opinion, using it now 3 months :)

This is my first rope i bought. It 's really smooth handeling and no kinks or twist after uncoiling. perfect

Super happy with this rope. at the start rope doesn`t flow so good through grigri or atc. But after few climbs with it is just great.

Few weeks ago I have bought this beauty, but abaut 3 days ago I have bassicly tried it for the first time... I really love the way it fells in the hand it is smooth and not to thick... I love it

It's my second smart lite 9.8 and I am very satisfied. It's the best value for money climbing rope I ever use. Enjoy climbing!

Absolutly fine for intermediate/advanced level sport and easier multi-pitch routes in case you're on a tight budget, or you just don't need stuff like dry treatment. This is my second Tendon Smart Lite 9.8, I was thinking of upgrading, but after reading through the technical details of other ropes, I just couldn't justify spending 50-100 EUR-s more for ropes that just have some slightly better features. I'd rather spend that cash on cams. :)

Great package and fast shipping. The rope is really good!

Had the previous 10mm Smart too. This one is slightly thinner and different color. Not too thick, smooth operation (but not too smooth like some thin coated stuff) and inexpensive. Just be aware that it is uncoated, so heavier in the rain/when wet and easier to get dirty. Just use a rope bag to keep it clean. Did come with 3 stickers on each end of the rope; remove them so the rope doesn't get stuck on the anchors on sports routes.

Bought this rope to cut it in half and use it as a gym rope. Couldn’t go wrong with the price. Currently no issues with the rope.

This rope wears out so easily, had to cut it down loads in a short trip. Core shot after a weeks use. Never buying Tendon again.

I've purchased an "entry" rope here and there (Rocklight something) and usually they're terrible. Really stiff, poor handling etc. Initial impression for this is great. Made in CZ and the hand feels much better. Hard to do better at this price!
