What other hosts are saying

3 experts recommend the Mammut 9.5 Crag Dry Rope Duodess x 70m.

Woody Jacobson, AMGA Certified Rock Guide

Great cragging rope that strikes a balance between light weight and durability. A 60 meter will work great for most single pitch routes in Washington. A 70 meter is best for some of the longer pitches at Index and for a lot of multipitch routes.

Nicholas Metz, Mountain Guide

This is my favorite all round climbing rope. It is the most durable rope I've ever used.
