Bd 9.9 60m rope - Black Diamond Climbing 9.9 mm Rope

just put the rope to use yesterday and was happy with its performance. Measured its length right at 200' (other ropes I've had gave some extra length) and its got a very visible halfway mark which looks like it will last a long time. This is the thinnest rope I've used ( usually have 10.2) and noticed a few things. It feeds easily into the ATC, but with that comes less ability of the ATC to lock off the rope. I will now use a grigri for belaying as it seems safer, and will back up repels with a prussik which I normally don't do. Looks like i'll be getting safer in my old age. The rope handles nicely and so far doesn't kink very much.
