Mammut Revelation Climbing Rope - 9.2mm
September 16, 2008
Now they've got the description right, I'll give this rope 5 stars. Double dry, light, and reasonably durable considering it's light weight.

Mammut Revelation Climbing Rope - 9.2mm

This rope is great, but it is NOT a duodess (bi-pattern), as indicated in the title. I ordered one, it wasn't duodess, and they sent a replacement, which also wasn't duodess. Otherwise a great rope.

Mammut Galaxy Climbing Rope - 10mm
May 11, 2008
Beefier ropes are more durable and offer greater friction when running through carabiners and belay/rappel devices. This means you will have a rope that will last longer and and will be able to control the rate of descent better when rappelling or lowering someone off of a climb. For top roping/ repealing most climbers will use a rope 10+ mm.
Skinnier ropes provide less rope drag, combined with being generally lighter, a lead climber will exert less energy using a skinner rope. But the skinner ropes, generally, sacrifices durability and will have less friction available when belaying/ repealing. Most lead climbers will use a 9.8+ for everyday use, and save there 9.8- for red point burns and hard on sight attempts.
