Description:

Available now at www.JustRopes.com

Due to the high proportion of sheath, this double rope is extremely durable and abrasion resistant, with excellent handling and light weight. The most versatile double rope in Mammut's line, it's at home anywhere 2 cords are better than 1. Use for alpine and traditional rock climbs, ice climbing or "glacier travel."

". . . the Genesis is light enough for hard routes but with enough beef to withstand regular use. Like all Mammut cords, the Genesis handled beautifully . . ." Gripped Magazine Oct. 2004

Pros:	just a good rope
Cons:

good ropes, tangle as easily as other thin ropes do though - light weight, not unreasonable to leave one in the car on fast/light trips where double rope rap is unnecessary.
