Boot Control On The Kleines 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 mountain 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!

Nina Caprez Mammut Athlete

«One of the most unusual, crazy shoots I’ve ever experienced! Everyone taking part gave their all, which meant there was a superb atmosphere all day long.»

First came the search for a spectacular location. Our initial idea was the Pilz on the west flank of the Eiger, but a geological survey we had commissioned dissuaded us. We carried on looking, turning down both the Lobhörner and the Gspaltenhorn. It finally came down to the Kleines Kamel in the Furka region, using the Sidelen hut as an operational base.

We needed to determine the proportions involved. Mammut team member 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 final shot would look like. www.mammut.ch/testevent

Mammut Puts On Its Boots

Professionals’ Summit.

100 years of bootmaking expertise meets mountain sports knowhow. The testers were able to confirm 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 Frutiger

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

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 highlights, which include new sole technologies, the world’s lightest mountaineering and hiking boot designs, and a wide-ranging expansion of its line of practical multifunctional 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?

SINCE 1909

Mountaineering Footwear

Extremely Safe.

Extremely Comfortable.

Mountaineering boots have a hard life. They bear extreme conditions and heavy loads. Combined rock and ice tours make for increased demands on both mountaineer and equipment. The Mamook GTX is the lightest crampon-compatible alpine boot in its class.

Urban Climbing

Mammut – Injecting The Mountain Into The City.

More and more climbers are discovering a whole world of adventure right on their doorstep: they’re coming out of the climbing 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 spontaneous bouldering and slacklining in the city is what it’s all about.

Anna Stöhr Mammut 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, swimming 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 definite yet … We’ll just have to see what turns up ;)

Mammut Alpine Underwear

High-Tech Base Layer.

Unlike marathon runners, climbers are not always on the move. That’s why Mammut has come up with underwear that delivers comfortable and consistent body climate control during stop-and-go activities.

The Symbios concept.

Mammut’s Alpine Underwear incorporates a blend of three materials, which it tailors to the physiology of the various body zones.

During stop-and-go activities, which can also involve the carrying of a backpack as well as extreme climatic conditions, the Alpine Underwear meets the needs of the ambitious outdoor sportsperson by ensuring a comfortable body climate.

Mammut Alpine Clothing

The Jacket That Responds Like A Pine Cone.

The intelligent c_change membrane reacts in a way similar to that of a pine cone by closing in cold weather and opening in the presence of water vapor. Outerwear such as the Extreme Cho Oyu Jacket helps maintain a consistent body climate while protecting against rain, snow and storms.

Extreme Cho Oyu Jacket Men Conditions in the mountains can change within minutes. That doesn’t bother mountaineers wearing this amazingly light jacket, which delivers a consistent body climate whatever the weather.

coldblack®

The color that cools.

Sunshine on dark clothing can be unpleasantly hot in summer – not any more!

Now with the new coldblack® finishing technology from schoeller®, wearing a dark-colored jacket feels agreeably cool, thanks to the invisible fabric treatment that reflects the sunlight – up 80% of it! Textiles finished with coldblack® stay cooler for longer and their heat management properties are markedly enhanced.

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 finish; processing enough polyamide fiber every day to encircle the earth. Mammut checks every meter for quality. The result: Our products offer an unrivalled range of quality features.

The new Tec Step Via Ferrata

In a class of its own.

Tec Step Via Ferrata KL Length: 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).

18 |

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 lighter 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 weather conditions.

Phoenix 8 mm UIAA falls (1 strand 55 kg): 7–9 weight/m: 41 g At 41 g/m this is one of the lightest half-ropes thanks to Coating Finish | broad range of applications incl. multipitching, ice climbing and high-altitude mountaineering

myclimate

Lap-coiled

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 first fully automatic lap-coiling ropepacking machine, Mammut ropes feature additional benefits 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 figure-ofeight pattern. This corresponds exactly to what a climber would do manually.

Climate-neutral ropes.

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 custom products. For example, the Smart belay device has been specially developed for indoor and outdoor sport climbers who contend with a lot of falls. Safety first!

01

Optimized carabiner bearing surface for controlled belaying

02

Illustrated instructions promote correct use

03 04 05

Comfortable synthetic grip at skin-contact zone

Components subject to abrasion fashioned from stainless steel

Square-edged design prevents incorrect handling

Smart

Safety at the moment of shock.

The new Smart belay device responds to the re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.

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.

20 |

Pulling in the rope Take 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.

High Altitude To The Max. You’re on rock and ice or in snow. High-altitude touring involves all kinds of terrain. And that means you need superb equipment that’s tailored to your needs: Light and functional, really comfortable and without any unnecessary extras.

X-Zoom Total Reflex Optics with zoom for stepless setting of the beam width | 3 levels of brightness; reach from 10 to 120 m

The Ajungilak Shield.

Mammut knows that climbing is all about what goes on in the head. The Ajungilak Shield is the first 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 sidezippers, 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.

Fair Wear Foundation

Bearing responsibility.

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 verified and certified 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 contracts. 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 finds them protecting and developing the wonderful mountainscapes of Kyrgyzstan. Once again, they accomplished a lot last year.
