Mammut Testevent

Boot Control On TheKleines Kamel.Hot on the heels of the Mammut fans who traveled from all over Europe to Bernese Oberland to test our Alpine Underwear, we now turn to a team of professional moun-tain guides. Their Job: To test Mammut’s new mountain boots. The team of mountain guides assembled on a hellishly narrow ledge providing a spectacular setting for Mammut’s advertising campaign. Join them live!

First came the search for a spectacular location. Our initial idea was the Pilz on the west fl ank of the Eiger, but a geological survey we had com-missioned dissuaded us. We carried on looking, turning down both the Lobhörner and the Gspaltenhorn. It fi nally came down to the KleinesKamel in the Furka region, using the Sidelen hut as an operational base. We needed to determine the proportions involved. Mammut team mem-ber Stephan Siegrist was dispatched up the Kamel pillar alone. After a thumbs-up from photographer Röbi Bösch and art director Gabriel Peisker it was time for the creative phase: an illustrator had the job of showing everyone involved in the project what the fi nal shot would look like.www.mammut.ch/testevent

Mammut Puts On Its Boots

Professionals’ Summit.100 years of bootmaking expertise meets mountain sports know-how. The testers were able to confi rm the result for themselves during the shoot. Mammut Athlete Daniel Arnold: «Though very light, it has everything you need. Quite simply an amazing boot!» Christian Haug from Uri’s mountaineering school focused on the stylish aspects: «Light, comfortable, versatile – and a great color!» At the end of the day everyone agreed, Mammut–Raichle combination is the right way forward. The participants that day did more than just climb. Over the meat dishes after the shoot they demonstrated what comes a close second in mountain guiding skills: Telling stories!

Lorenz FrutigerGreenland Expedition Specialists

«The whole event was really well organized, and the shoot quick and effi cient. What I found so fascinating were the amazing plays of light on the granite cliffs of the Furka Pass.»

SINCE1909

New Mammut Footwear

Outside Mammut – Inside Raichle.

Mammut is now putting on its boots and fusing its Absolute Alpine mountain sports know-how with 100 years of Raichle bootmaking expertise. At a stroke, Mammut has established itself as the leading footwear brand, which means it is now a full-service mountain sports provider.

Recent years have seen Mammut invest heavily in development; it has revised a large part of its footwear lineup. The result is an array of innovative and attractive high-lights, which include new sole technologies, the world’s lightest mountaineering and hiking boot designs, and a wide-ranging expansion of its line of practical multifunc-tional footwear. Rounding out the new assortment, is a line of Urban Climbing shoes already setting trends in the climbing scene.

Mammut plus Raichle represents maximum quality and innovation. This new formula for success combines the best of the two companies. The combination sets new standards in alpine footwear. Why not put the footwear to the test?

Urban Climbing

Mammut – Injecting The Mountain Into The City.More and more climbers are discovering a whole world of ad-venture right on their doorstep: they’re coming out of the climb-ing gym, down from the mountain and into the pulsating city. Facades, walls and bridge supports – with urban climbing, anything is fair game. Hooking up with friends for some sponta-neous bouldering and slacklining in the city is what it’s all about.

Anna StöhrMammut Pro Team Athlete Bouldering World Champion What do you get up to when you’re not climbing?I like spending whatever free time I have with friends, in the cinema, snowboarding, swim-ming or just lazing around.

What’s next on the horizon in terms of climbing?Now the World Cup season is over I’ll be spending a lot of time on the rock. Depending on the weather and snow conditions I’ll be looking at Zillertal, Averstal or maybe Ticino ;) I really hope I can go on another extended climbing tour soon, although there’s nothing defi nite yet … We’ll just have to see what turns up ;)

Mammut Ropes

For Those Who Love Life.For someone whose life hangs by a thread (or in this case, a rope) nothing counts more than quality. Mammut ropes and cords are made in Switzerland – from start to fi nish; processing enough polyamide fi ber every day to encircle the earth. Mammut checks every meter for quality. The result: Our products offer an unrivalled range of quality features.

Tec Step Via Ferrata KLLength: 90 cm | width: 19 mm

The only via ferrata set offering a lanyard fall arrester that features progressive braking | offers four levels of braking designed to moderate the brake shock across all weights (children and adults).

Phoenix 8 mmUIAA falls (1 strand 55 kg): 7–9weight/m: 41 g

At 41 g/m this is one of the lightest half-ropes thanks to Coating Finish | broad range of applications incl. multi-pitching, ice climbing and high-altitude mountaineering

The new Tec Step Via Ferrata

In a class of its own.Mammut has brought the innovative concept of the Via Ferrata Step Web to the next level. The new via ferrata set features a webbing energy-absorber which safely arrests a fall by allowing two interwoven lanyards to rip apart in a controlled way. Introducing a four-step increase in the strength of the stitching binding them together, which delivers a gradual increase in the braking force. It means that the falls of children and ligh-ter individuals are arrested more gently without the very high initial shock of a conventional system. The 100% textile construction of the lanyard fall arrester avoids the use of metal components to ensure its safe operation under all wea-ther conditions.

myclimate

Climate-neutral ropes.Lap-coiled

Tangle-free ropes.Mammut ropes are climate neutral. This means that the emissions generated by the manufacture and distribution of the ropes are compensated for through myclimate, an international initiative with Swiss roots. The construction of 500 solar greenhouses in the Indian Himalayas is designed to prolong the short vegetation period and enable the cultivation of local food. Visit www.mammut.ch/responsibility for more information.

A further innovation of the Mammut rope factory is its lap-coiling facility. Thanks to the fi rst fully automatic lap-coiling rope-packing machine, Mammut ropes feature additional benefi ts in terms of safety and convenience. The time-consuming uncoiling of a new rope to keep it from becoming twisted is now a thing of the past: Ropes now come tangle-free. The key to the new process is a new technique for coiling the rope: Instead of spooling it as in the past, a seven-axis robot arm is programmed to lay the rope in a fi gure-of-eight pattern. This corresponds exactly to what a climber would do manually.

Mammut Technical Hardware

Playing It Safe.Sport climbers are increasingly drawn to climbing centers. Because risk does not stay behind in the mountains, Mammut offers a range of cu-stom products. For example, the Smart belay device has been special-ly developed for indoor and outdoor sport climbers who contend with a lot of falls. Safety fi rst!

Optimized carabiner bearing surface for controlled belaying

Components subject to abrasion fashioned from stainless steel

Illustrated instructions promote correct use

Comfortable synthetic grip at skin-contact zone

01 02

03

Square-edged designprevents incorrect handling 05

04

Paying out the rope (normal)Place the thumb of the braking hand under the nose of the Smart and bring the device into a horizontal position: this allows the rope to be pulled through without much effort.

Pulling in the ropeTake up the slack with the leading hand while at the same time pulling the rope through the Smart with the braking hand. Both hands then slide back into the starting position.

Paying out the rope (after fall)Hold the rope with both hands and bring the Smart into a horizontal position with the thumb.

Safety at the moment of shock.The new Smart belay device responds to the re-fl exes of the human body when the belayer reacts to a fall. It provides dynamic braking, but blocks on sensing even a small amount of force from the belayer. Compatible with all the most common HMS carabiners and single ropes with a diameter of 8.9–10.5 mm.

Ajungilak Shield

Sleeping in the dry

The Ajungilak Shield.Mammut knows that climbing is all about what goes on in the head. The Ajungilak Shield is the fi rst waterproof down sleeping bag that also completely protects the head area against rain and snow. When required, the hood can simply be pulled over the head like a kind of awning. Thanks to its two side-zippers, you don’t have to emerge from the bag to read or cook. And the design (patent applied for) of the Ajungilak Shield does away with almost any stitching; any that remains is taped. This delivers dependable weather protection – and there’s no need for an extra bivi-bag.

Anyone wearing Mammut also bears a responsibility. Snowboarding, climbing and hiking are all about enjoyment. But what about the people who actually make the clothes? As a new member of the Fair Wear Foundation, Mammut is actively and effectively working to improve the practices of its suppliers, who are verifi ed and certifi ed by the FWF. Mammut asks its suppliers to implement the following standards over time: no forced labor, no discrimination, no child labor, no excessive hours, a living wage,

freedom of association, a safe and healthy working environment and legally binding employment con-tracts. More information: www.mammut.ch/responsibility www.fairwear.org

The love of mountains does not stop at national borders. That is certainly the case for this year’s two Mammut volunteers and their project leader. The Kyrgyzstan Mountain Project fi nds them protecting and developing the wonderful mountainscapes of Kyrgyzstan. Once again, they accomplished a lot lastyear. The Pik Khan-Tengri (7010 m) and Pik Pobeda (7439 m) were equipped

with Mammut-brand fi xed ropesand bolts, and the Pik Lenin (7134 m)was subjected to an urgent and required clean-up operation. Kyrgyz-stan mountaineers are being trained as guides, and the country’s only mountain refuge has been renovated and is already receiving guests again.
