Mammut Alpine Core Protect Rope

The Alpine Core Protect features an integrated aramid sheath layer between the core and the outer polyamide sheath. This specific construction significantly improves the rope's ability to withstand sharp edges and abrasive rock surfaces under load.

No, this is a double-certified half and twin rope, not a single rope. It is designed specifically for alpine, mountaineering, and ice climbing where you are using two strands for safety and rope drag management.

Yes, the rope meets UIAA standards for water repellency, achieving less than 2% water absorption. This prevents the rope from becoming heavy, stiff, or prone to freezing when you are climbing in snow, ice, or damp alpine environments.

No, it comes with a tangle-free design right out of the package. You can pull it directly from the coil and start climbing immediately without worrying about kinks or twists.

At 8.0 mm, this is a thin, lightweight rope that requires a belay device compatible with smaller diameters. Because it is thinner, it will run faster through your device than a standard single rope, so ensure you are proficient with thin-rope handling techniques.

Yes, the center mark is abrasion-resistant, meaning it is designed to stay visible even after significant use and friction against rock or gear.
