Single rope made with responsible use of resources
With the 9.5 Crag We Care Classic Rope for sports and classic climbing, Mammut aims at reducing the environmental footprint of its rope production. The sheath of the single rope is made from residual yarn left over from changes between different colors. Previously disposed of, this yarn is a high-quality, brand-new raw material. All 9.5 Crag We Care Classic single ropes therefore fully comply with Mammut's high quality standards. They are perfect examples of responsible use of resources and each rope is also a one-off, featuring its own individual pattern.
Sustainability
Solution dye
An eco-friendlier coloring method for synthetic fibers (also known as "dope dye"). Since color is integrated into the raw materials before yarn spinning rather than in a dying bath, water and chemical use as well as CO2 emissions are considerably reduced.
bluesign® PRODUCT
A bluesign® PRODUCT is made with at least 90% / 30% bluesign® APPROVED materials / accessories. The designation guarantees the highest level of consumer assurance, responsible use of resources and minimum impact on humans and the environment.

Comments
Im not quite sure why ropes that use leftover yarn etc seem to cost more than ones that use the initial yarn...? This rope is almost £30 more than the normal Gym Classic..!
It could be justified through extra workload, sweep yarn off the floor to feed in sort of thing.
Or it could be greenwash profiteering like sticking a suitable for vegans label in a banana and charging 10p more for it.
It's actually cheaper than the standard Crag Classic at 70m.
It's because the Gym Classic is only available in 40m & 50m so appears cheaper as Crag We Care Classic is only available in 60m+ lengths.
9.5 Crag Classic 70m £145
9.5 Crag We Care Classic 70m £135
Ah yes, well spotted - I just assumed the gym rope came in 60m... Good to see it is in fact cheaper then.. well done Mammut !
