Product Description

As a mainstay in the Mammut line for ten years, the Galaxy 10mm Climbing Rope has become a favorite all-around rope of climbers everywhere. It's just the right size to decrease weight without loosing 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 completely 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 gold standard of ropes.

Dow WilliamsWhat?

Voted 5/5

Dow actually cared enough to wash a rope!!!! I don't know, I always assumed I would take a big enough whipper or abuse my ropes enough that the last thing I was worried about was the grit taking them out of commission. But this bad boy has served us so well this past year that I just washed it on a return trip from the sands of southern Utah. It looks like the finish is going to last longer than normal for me. The Canadian Rockies are pretty harsh on ropes. I went from a 9.8 for my main single to this 10.0 and it feels lighter. I did not actually compare the weights though. Big Mammut rope fan and highly recommend this one.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
