A 60m Mammut Eternity Dry Duodess - I've waited a near literal eternity and I've come to believe they were never made and will never be...

Yeah - waited on a 70m version FOREVER - then it never came

Well, mine finally did the other day and it turns out the information Mammut had given me on the Eternity was not really correct. The Eternity has a smaller bobbin count and as a result is nothing like the SuperSafe. In fact, it handles like an anti-Supersafe with a real limp, sloppy feel and a loose sheath - pretty much everything I dislike in a rope. It has none of the Supersafe's "compact" and "stiff" feel.

I ended up declining on it and someone else jumped on it. In the mean time I had purchased a Metolius Monster 9.8 which does handle and feel pretty much spot on for a skinny Supersafe, has high fall, count and a burly sheath and is the rope I'd recommend instead.

also, i'd like to see a new piece of pro that could protect obtuse pockets. I'm thinking it would be about the shape of a drywall anchor, or like a star-fangled nut [biking], if you're not familiar with either of those, it'd be like a bunch of spikes that open out and would retract together when racking or something.
Maybe a good liquid chalk too.

I think they call them "pellet guns" or "air rifles", right?

Oh 'Biner, that classy dame we've all come to love! I'd begun to think I'd offended you!

Alas, I'm on the wrong coast and don't foresee the time when I'll be able to get you good and drunk in person. If I wire you $32.99, will you promise to drink yourself silly and pose naked for the camera for all of us breast lovers to see?

Respectfully,

Shimanilami
