Mammut Galaxy Climbing Rope - 10mm

Mammut Galaxy Climbing Rope - 10mm description

As a mainstay in this line for ten years, the Galaxy 10mm Climbing Rope has become Mammut's favorite all-around rope for climbers everywhere. The Galaxy was made just the right size to decrease weight without losing the durability that you need for everyday use. Mammut gave the Galaxy a middle mark for quick and easy rappels and ultrasonic-sealed rope ends to prevent sheath slippage. Strong enough to stand up to the abuse of sport climbing and light enough for long alpine routes, the Galaxy is a truly versatile rope.

Bottom Line: The Mammut Galaxy 10mm creates a gold standard of ropes.

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.
