Edelweiss is an old and reputable brand that I would trust. That's still a below-market price, so they must be making it in the US and be overstocked.
Highline, OTOH, is a one-man operation run by a known pot-head with zero oversight, regulation, or quality-control. He has a vendetta against PMI for dropping him, and sells his rope at or below cost just to annoy them. His machine rightfully still belongs to PMI, but can't be extradited. Use Highline at your own risk. Alex On 19 Jul 2012 at 9:20, Nigel wrote: > Alex, > > And what about Edelweiss? EverestGear has Edelweiss $347.55 for 600 ft of > 10mm in white - 58 cents per foot.
