Excellent Lightweight Cord

By James C Watts Ranked #272 - Climbing Ropes and Bouldering Pads November 28, 2008

I don't ever climb on doubles, but I use this rope for light alpine duty as a single (not recommended or condoned by manufacturer), and also as a rap line or rap tag line. This rope is solid, has a nice hand, and is about as durable as you would expect an 8mm Mammut to be (that is, surprisingly). Best of all, it's light when you're carrying it on your back (as light or lighter than 8mm Perlon and more versatile). Not too slippery to rap or belay, either. All in all, a great rope for it's intended purposes. If this is all that's keeping you from the void, there's going to be some "clench" factor, but it still beats having nothing by a long shot!
