Mammut Serenity Rope Review

I took numerous whippers on the way to eventually redpointing the new line and haven’t noticed any unusual signs of wear on the rope. It’s worth noting, however, that Mammut touts the Serenity as a specialty rope “designed to favor weight-savings over durability … i.e. redpoint attempts or super-light alpine ascents.” If you’re looking for a dog-a-thon workhorse, pick up a heavier, larger-diameter rope. But for those times when you need a little edge, whether in the high mountains or on a particularly nefarious project, check out Mammut’s Serenity. I’d suggest forking over an extra 20 bucks for a 70-meter ($250) halyard and then pimping it to the fullest.
