Man this content is next level. I don't even image how much time and preparation it goes through to make these videos. The editing, the analytical parts, the comedy bits... They aren't just informative, they are super fucking entertaining to watch. You are one of the main reasons why I started to climb at 30yo (and I always been crazy afraid of heights). Thank you and props to you man! You are just killing it!

Love Mammut they helped me move transformers there team are just amazing!!!! So cool to see this side of the company!!!

I thought "sad that it was so short". Now I realized that the 2 minute video was over 20 minutes.

Really good research and answers to questions that probably every climber faces! Personally, I wasn't a big fan of all the switching between the different interviews/experiments. I realize it's probably to create some kind of cliffhanger effects to hold the attention. But to be honest, I found it a bit confusing at times and would have preferred to just watch the different things in one piece 🤷🏻‍♂

Thanks for that! And yea it's always tricky to present info in a way that keeps attention in this speedy world. Would be boring if I just showed 10 drops in a row. I could also just show the end result quicker, but some like to have more info... yeah... tricky

Amazing that you are such a lovely nerdy one with the ability to explain physics that even I can understand

Really great video. Love the engineers and technicians all giving their informed takes on the likely results (and I like knowing that they are pretty good at it). I feel like it's the first time I have ever had a real understanding how bad a soft spot is related to core shot and desheathed rope is in terms of safety.

Incredible. This is so thorough and how cool for Mammut to offer so much time and equipment to test their ropes so publicly! Will the next video deal with ropes over sharper rock edges? Watching my rope go over an edge makes me more nervous than anything else. Thank you, everyone, so much for the informative video!

The mammut falltower employer seems like a really cool guy.

This is the best climbing related channel on KZread!

Great video - EVERY climber should watch this, fun, practical experimentation... I would have retired that rope but interestingly it would still have done it's job!

Cat MVP helping the community with scientific answers! But really, great work. Such high quality and incredibly valuable information, keep up the amazing work!

This stuff is educational, informative, and funny. BBC worthy.

What a great video!! Actually game me some real big confidence in Mammut! I didn't know they were that rooted into climbing history! Also crazy to see the abrasion difference with a dry vs non dry treated rope.

Thank you! I understand that for sensational purposes it would have been good if there would have been an unexpected potentially dangerous outcome. But my take away is that I am completely right in trusting my life to my rope with all types of rock and all types of fall. As long as it it's not extremely damaged it will still save me. And, that is the second take away, the reason for ropes being so remarkably fantastic is that they are created by really smart (and nice) people!

Great video and massive thanks to Mammut for allowing this test in their facility! Really interesting and informative.

The footage of the threads "dancing" and tearing apart is really freaking awesome looking. Really cool shot/footage!

I was needing this video! Thanks!

Wow!!! So in depth and we appreciate it.

Fantastic, always learn so much from you! Thank you

Another great video! Thank you for all the time you put in to make these.

I love science, I love climbing, I really love your videos!!! You're getting better and better, your editing increased and the topics are becomming more interesting every videos. Tanks you!

Very nice video! Very informative and always nice to have experts answering such questions! 👍🏻

Amazing video as usual! I recently bought a rope and am just getting into sport climbing, this answers so many of the questions I had about my rope.

quality content ben! such a nice move from mammut to test this experiment

This is the info that every climber is lloking for. Thank you for this contentent!

Holy crap this was an amazing video. First the beautiful rope abrasion shot and then Q&A with experts on common questions and then an amazing drop tower test result!

Amazing videos! Thank you so much for put this effort in the channel

Awesome video and amazing intro. Thanks for the effort. Very well done!

Thanks you so much for coming back, you videos are the best! One of the most incredible KZreadr ever!

Thank you for this! Exactly what i needed to know.

Had huge quality issues with Mammuts rucksacks and clothing - glad to see they really take care of the development of their gear. I liked your video a lot it was very fresh, funny and easy to watch!

Best video on ropes I’ve seen from your channel. Your videos are giving me confidence in my climbing gear

This episode was super awesome! Thank you.

I enjoyed this video and thought your formatting was okay! Very interesting to hear about rope construction. Watching these tests and explanations from actual experts (instead of gym scientists) gave me a lot of confidence in my safety.

I love the face of the guy who cut the rope... no feelings, just science

I love these kinds of experiments. I bet it was also an interesting learning experience for the testers just as it is for the viewers.

This is so good! Talking to the manufacturers gave so many answers, loved those interviews. (And thanks for the behind the scenes of your intro, was actually curious how you did it. Definitely worth it, cool shot)

Hi Ben just found your channel. There is so much information here, thank you and Mammut for your hard work. God bless

Amazing video! Tks to share!

Soooo good to hear expert considerations

sick! I know this wasnt an advert and most climping ropes are rigourously tested, but im happy ive got a mammut rope in my bag haha

Love the intro, very cinematic qualities. Thanks for the informant and improved production quality

All I can say is that this is excellent content. I did not search for this video, but I am so impressed by what I learned.

These videos just keep getting better! I see you upgraded your camera equipment 😍. The close up shots were so freaking sharp!

Excellent video--best yet! Very informative. I know you focus on sport climbing, but in rescue work we often used ropes that were either static or far less dynamic. Might be an interesting area to look at in terms of testing.

I always watch yout videos in 4k on my TV. The production quality of your videos is so good, the editing and I learn something new everytime. Really enjoyed it and I will happily wait for the next video release! The mammut team seems so nice to be around too.

Fascinating.

I don't even rock climb, but I can't stop watching this stuff. I do use ropes a lot though for hunting from trees. This channel has been very helpful.

Great Video! Thx

Yay, I'm about to be the proud owner of several very short ropes!! Time to by a new rope 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This intro, man. Awesome!

impecable bro

Great editing!

Thanks for doing this! I have to say the Mammut management and tech folks are to be commended - they went out on a limb here conducting some super interesting but somewhat not well designed experiments and allow us some insight into corporate rational for how they make ropes. BTW, my first rope (1974) was a Mammut, I've had many other brands since but usually I'm climbing on a Mammut.

The intro animation was super cool!

That was extremely interesting!

Thank you Ben and thank you Mammut! I loved it, 4/5 stars, I felt the edit/changes a bit too fast, while it's entertaining, I feel like the concept doesn't stick as much, as you are putting attention to whatever is coming next. Although I admit it was fairly well strung together!

This gives me much more understanding of my rope.

I haven't really done much climbing, and no climbing using ropes and pulleys and whatever. But I have a few ropes, climbing ropes, that someone threw in the dumpster, when I lived in the Rockies. And I still have them, and they don't look particularly worn. But this helps to be able to tell in some extent.

Perfect timing! Last week I was wondering if I should change my rope yet or not .. Thanks! PS: Never been first before lol Your videos are awesome and very helpful! Cheers!

Nice content !!

I literally cant rock climb and yet here I am. Must have been a great title/thumb 😂😂😂

Cool video 👌🏻

I just discovered your channel. I’m a saddle hunter which is a type of hunting where climbing tools and technique are of great importance. If you don’t already you should make sure to have keywords for your videos to include some hunting terms, as I’m sure much of the saddle hunting community would love to see these videos! Good stuff!

Normally I never drink more than 1 coffee at home... but he today's I drink to because of you😅🤣

great video guys thanks!! I had two ropes with completely separated sheath that I used many times. Some of my friends did not like it and the last one I had no choice of other partners so I had to retire it. :( But great to see how much strength is in these core strands in a video so I can send it to them. Maybe I can bring the rope back out again!

This is a really cool series. It's interesting that although there are robust factory standards, there is not much in regards to real world application. The climbing/mountaineering world is so complicated to outsiders and it seems a lot of information even from top manufacturers is very hidden or difficult to understand. Thanks for exploring the questions so many have asked in a useful and real world scientific way!

Thank you for all the work that you do for us. Great opportunity for you and great move from Mammut to actually invite you. I would also be interested in the engineering differences between single Rope, half Rope and twin ropes. Hope your Second Video will Cover it ;)

Thanks Heinrich! Next video is about cut resistance of the ropes ;) With a tiny bit on double ropes vs single ropes.

best climbing KZread channel

i was waiting for this! amazing work guys! now, i have to cut some rope

A very interesting video, we used to hang from from an old rope and cut it strand by strand. A single strand would hold us but it would stretch more than a metre. The comment about about dry treated ropes being more abrasion resistant was a new one on me as I had been saying not to bother paying the extra for a dry treatment unless its being used for ice climbing.

bro was super hype

Was deciding between petzl and mammut for my next alpine rope. Mammut defo got my business this time😊

Очень крутые видео, спасибо 🤝

Super Video! Thanks a lot. I experienced the breaking of the external strands of my climbing rope just by pulling me on it after some long falls on my project. The rope was already hairy and I was going to cut it after that session: i simply waited too much :) Rappeling down only on the core was pretty scary, but in the end all's well that ends well.

To answer if a rope can die, once must decide if a rope can live, for to die is to no longer be living. RIP, dearest rope.

0:53 As an electrician and before I watch further, if someone told me a cable bent like that I would tell them to unplug it and even cut it before throwing it in the bin so nobody can use it. It means the mechanical strength is gone and the layers loosened up around each other, making it look like a sausage down the hallway in cross-section of both the strands and sheath.
