The Genesis Classic from Mammut is a robust, heavy-duty half-rope for
alpine and icefall climbing. The high percentage of sheaf used in this
rope gives it very durable and easy handling characteristics.
The
weight and strength of half ropes lies between the values for single
and twin ropes. Half ropes only offer standard-conforming security when
used in pairs, although the climber can choose between the twin rope
technique, whereby both ropes run parallel through the pieces of
protection, and the half rope technique, whereby there is a left-hand
and a right-hand strand running clipped alternately through protection
at different heights (e.g. when protection is are wide apart). For the
half rope technique a securing method must be used that allows
independent looping-in and detachment. When used singly, half ropes are
tested with 55 kg fall weight and must resist 5 standard falls. Used
singly, they are suitable for additional securing, for example if there
are two other climbers on the rope.
