New rope - fantastic deal 30-Jul-2016 At 11:59:07 AM technogeekery

I just picked up a Mammut Finesse 9.3mm single/double/twin rope (60m Dry coated) for $150 at Mountain Designs in Sydney. Marked down from original price of $350 to $265 on their website - in the shop they gave it to me for $150. It is no longer on their website (see https://www.mammut.ch/US/en_US/B2C-Category/Equipment/Ropes/Single-Ropes/9-3-Finesse-Dry/p/2010-02680-11135 for specs) but they had one left in the shop yesterday at the same price, which was certainly my bargain of the year. Have at it...

At 58g/m it is 300g heavier than the Nano it replaces in my use, so a little heavier. It feels very nice in the hand, smoother than the Nano, and I suspect a lot more durable - we'll see. Very good looking rope (blue/green irridescent weave) with clear centre mark, and lap-coiled in the pack so handles well straight out of the pack with no kinking / knotting.
