Mammut Tusk 9.8 mm Climbing Rope Review

The Tusk has been a consistent and steady performer. Its 9.8 mm diameter is about as thin as I’m comfortable with for all of my falling and hang-dogging. The rope’s medium rigidity makes it just average at clipping to carabiners; yet also seems to yield a fluffy-soft catch.
Lap Coiling rope-packaging machine means no factory kinks in cord.
SuperDry treatment: A coating to both sheath and core, this gives a smooth feed and added protection. A bit slippery at first.
Comes in two colors: yellow and lime green. The yellow one, which I tested, seems to pick up a lot of dirt and now looks black.
9.8 mm. A good combination of lightness (63 g/m) and durability (6-7 UIAA falls). The speed that the sheath has frayed from normal wear has been just average.
Recommended uses: sport climbing, trad climbing, alpine rock climbing.
