I've seen Bluewater Ropes in a Surplus Store. What about ropes at REI or other sports stores. What is a good rope to buy?
Nylon? Polyester?

I hope you mean polyester and not polypropylene...

I was looking at the Petzl "STOP" descender on IMO. Does anyone have any comments about this descender? Or any other descenders. I have heard bad things about the figure 8 and I don't think that I will try it on my first descend. What are your comments?
