Great All-Around Rope

By NickW Ranked #214 - Big Wall Climbing June 21, 2009

I had been out of the climbing market for about 8 years, and I was looking to slowly get back into climbing through top-roping my local routes. I wanted a rope that could work well for these top-rope routes, but also provide the flexibility to be used when I got back into multi-pitch trad climbing. Basically, I was looking for a workhorse, everyday rope. After some research and recommendations, it appeared that a 60M, 10.2 rope was the way to go (although with a 70M, you can link some pitches, but it would have been overkill for top-rope routes). Looking at ropes offered in this size, the Mammut Supersafe came highly recommended. It is the only rope to pass the Sharp End Resistance test, which was nice. Otherwise, it feels and handles great. It has a nice coating, belays well and is relatively light for its size. It has nice center marks as well. Basically, if you are in the market for an all-around workhorse, use-anywhere-anytime rope, you can't go wrong with the Mammut Supersafe.
