Mammut Alpine Core Protect Rope

The primary difference is the aramid sheath, which is engineered specifically to resist cuts when running over sharp rock edges. This makes it significantly more durable in alpine environments where jagged terrain is common.

Yes, it features a UIAA-certified dry treatment that limits water absorption to less than 2%. This keeps the rope lightweight and prevents it from freezing or becoming heavy during alpine ascents.

It does. The rope is coiled using a tangle-free design, so you can pull it out of the package and start climbing immediately without having to flake it out first.

At 9.5 mm, this rope strikes a balance between handling and durability. It is thin enough to feed smoothly through most modern belay devices, yet robust enough to handle the wear and tear of alpine climbing.

The rope includes a durable, abrasion-resistant center mark. This is a critical safety feature that helps you quickly locate the midpoint for rappels and ensures you have enough rope for your belay.
