Re: Mammut Infinity 9.5 70m. Good Sport Rope?
you're asking for a lot there trayashtray wrote: and please no smart ass comments from the peanut gallery.
Sand inhibits the production of toughtosterone, so get it out and send.
i've climbed with the guy he is totally gear ignorant. we can use your new rope in my ragid grigri. i'm not in the peanut gallery, i'm at the bottom of the pile.
seriously though jeff i've never heard anything bad about mammut. however lets look at the facts
1) 9.5 rope shorter lifetime
2) 9.5 rope most likely will have slippage issues in a "good" grigri
3) working routes on a 9.5 can be a bitch
4) price issue is it a great bargain? shop around before committing
5) if it is a great bargain using as the "send" rope for a while might be a good option, while using that death cord you force me to climb on as the working rope might prove beneficial

In my opinon Mammut makes one of the best ropes $ can buy. . Judging by your thread, this is your only rope? If this is going to be your only rope I'd suggest getting a different (larger diameter) rope, that size seems a bit small except for your redpoint/alpine route where you are trying to shave off every oz. can't go wrong with mammut though

Now I haven't been climbing very long at all but I do know this is the nicest rope I've ever been tied into.- Makes my Edelweiss feel like an unwanted stepchild. It handles great and has a tight, slick sheath that runs smoothly through belay devices-seems to pack small and light for a 70m too.
The only escape is up.

sterling sux. Mammut is good. And i recently had a 9.5 mammut. Unless your gri-gri is like 100 years old, you should have no problems with slippage.
But a 9.5 rope, is a 9.5 rope. Its not a good workhorse rope, and won't last quite as long as a thicker rope, nor will it hold quite as many falls. The 9.5 is a great 'sending' rope though, as its lighter, and easier to clip with. I'd recommend something in the 9.8-10.2 range for normal usage, and save the 9.5 for redpoint attempts.
