Petzl Fuse

Anyone have this rope? Would you recommend it to others?

Petzl has had a bumpy start in the rope business - check over on RC.com

Mammut's been worth the extra money I've had to fork over. I haven 't had to replace a rope in a while, but I'd go for the Mammut Infinity if you're looking for a sub-10mm single.

 

I can't honestly say that I've ever felt like it was the rope holding me back, or that an extra 0.7mm in diameter was going to make the difference for me, so I've generally used a 10.2-10.5 rope for cragging.

This is for alpine routes where weight matters. I use an Edelweiss Axis 10.3(?) for cragging. It's 71 g/m compared to 55 or 56 for the sub-10mm ropes. I bought it cheap... and saw the Fuse on sale, so I was considering it. I may suck it up and go with Mammut, although I hear good things about BlueWater too.

I've never owned an Edelweiss rope, but they seem to be on par with Mammut, and they've got a 9.2mm single-rope that would probably be a good fit.

alpine routes, where weight matters? if you say so.

2 lbs makes a difference on an approach with 4000 foot vertical gain. as does extra bulk in the pack.

While not the exact rope, I've got a nomad (9.8mm) and have been quite happy with it for cragging and some alpine/ice use.

KKKK---

 

i've got a 9.2 mammut rope (revelation). its a few years old but i've really liked it. it handles well and has held up well. i've always been happy with mammut ropes and felt like they're worth the extra money.

 

and yeah, i'm a wuss, i'll save weight where i can for alpine stuff!

My partner brought a revelation up on the Tooth last weekend. Nice rope. I think I'll just look for a deal online and cough up the cash when I see it.

Personally, I'd be a little wary about Petzl ropes too because of the issues with their Zephyr 10.2mm (see Joseph's post).

 

I think that either the Mammut (Infinity) or Bluewater (dominator) in th same diameter range that you're looking at would be preferable. But, of course, they're both more expensive too.

 

If you're looking to save a few bucks and a even more weight, it looks like you could get a 70M Mammut Serenity (8.9mm) for probably the same or less $$ than the 70M Petzl Fuse.
