In our indoors climbing club we were interested in Beal UniCore rope,
which avoids the unpleasant shift of the core against the sock, an eerie
thing to feel under your hands. It seems that several rope manufacturers
now make this kind of rope, where the core and sock are firmly bound
together. So far we've tried a Mammut type (Gym 10.4) and it quickly
wore near the end, where the climber falls into the last express sling.
Is this typical of this kind of rope? I.e. do they wear faster than the
older type for some reason?
Anyone out there have experience with this?

I have not experienced this shifting with Beal but I have used Mammut for
club climbing and have had success. We typically use the Guide gauges
(11-12mm) though and they seem to hold up better (although harder to find
these days except in bulk). I have noticed that some belay devices seem to
wear the sheathing a bit quicker than others.
