Mammut Galaxy Climbing Rope - 10mm

Ive used a lot of different ropes, and hands down, Mammut ropes are the best. The 10 mm looks and feels much thinner than other 10 mm ropes, and it is lighter. Above all, even after months of use, it retains the firmness of a new rope, rather than getting soft and yarn-like. My pet peeve is trying to clip with a soft, fuzzy old rope, because its definitely harder to get the rope in the biner. Mammut ropes dont seem to break down like that, and they keep their good handling even after tons of use.

Mammut makes great ropes. I have used just ropes from just about everyone (bluewater, edelwiess, sterling, and beal) and I think that the Mammut are among the best. They have a great hand, are not too stiff, dont kink or twist excessively and last through lots of abuse. This is a great rope and the 70 meter size is the way to go. Don't hose yourself with a 50 meter, you'll regret it. Also buy the superdry. Even on ropes I never plan to get water anywhere near, nature has a way of finding, and it always pays to have a "dry" rope.

I bought the 70 m super dry, and I have loved it. This rope has been a joy to climb with and reasuuring. The seventy meters and the larger diameter makes for a bulky rope is the only downside. I've only been out with it five times, but it has performed well for me.

Fantastic rope. Definitely go with the super dry, stays cleaner and doesn't pick up so much black gunk from your devices. Handled great right out of the box (although I RTFM and flaked it a ocuple times like they suggest-yes I'm a nerd and even read rope manuals). Got the 2 pattern and it is super cool. Took a big whipper first climb and it behaved just like it is supposed to. Seems to kink a lot with Black Diamond ATCs. Not the guide though, just the regular ones. I use a OP SMG and it works like a champ.

This rope is fantastic. I had the 60M Superdry Yellow, and like all Mammut ropes, it starts out very supple and workable. This rope took a lot of abuse - two trips to Yosemite, a trip to Red Rocks, plenty of time at Cathedral and ice climbing in the White Mountains. Took plenty of falls, though nothing over 20 feet. Finally retired it about six months ago - but it's still in pretty decent shape. No sheath slippage, no hour-glasses. I'd buy another one in a second if I had $210.

I’ve owned a rope from just about every company and I keep coming back to this cord. I always get the 70m, dry, and use it year round for rock and ice. I climb roughly 100+ days a year and usually burn through a cord annually. I retire the old ropes to top rope only cords for the newbie’s that I take out. The cords have never popped the sheath, cut, or become frayed; I simply retire them based on the usage and lead falls taken throughout the year. With that much usage the cord will become a bit “fat”, but that’s to be expected. I’m on my third rope and next year I will buy another. It’s not the lightest or thinnest rope out there but it is a great rope that will leave you satisfied. Don’t go with faint midline markers, or ropes with multiple makers at midline line then 10 or 15 feet from the ends, it creates too much room for error and more and more accidents are occurring with those styles. The bicolor, 70m is the only way to go and if you climb a lot, get stuck in the rain or drag it out on the ice, get a dry rope.

Great rope, you cannot go wrong and if you watch the site you can get it on sale.

It is just about the perfect cord really. Have owned a few Galaxy's and thye never disapoint. Thye hold up better than anything else I've used in the past twenty years and handle great the entire life of the rope. Also like the 10mm size, sport, trad or in the mountains, not the lightest nor the heaviest, just a workhorse rope. Also this size works in any modern belay device well so your partner will hopefully not drop your ass.

I bought this rope (Mammut Galaxy 60m dry yellow) and had it about about eight months. I took very good care of it and did everything the manufacture said to do to prolong the life of the rope. While on a 5.11a sport climb I took about a fifteen foot fall. The sheath where the clip caught me completely blew apart and the core nearly severed. this happened on a smooth sand-stone slab with no sharp edges. I always inspect my rope before I climb, and it was in near new condition. Also that was my first larger fall i've taken on that rope, so it wasn't like it has been over used. I called Mammut and they are sending me a super-safe free of charge. but that wouldn't have done me much good if the rope had completely broke. Fluke accident? or common manufacturing error? Lets just hope it's the first one.
