Looking for a thin/mid sized rope that can handle the abuse of jugging, while still being 62grams/m or lighter.
I've used the Mammut Infinity in the past and have been very happy with it. I can't seem to find a 60m for a reasonable price. What other ropes have high sheath mass and can put up with some abuse?
Obviously a 9.4/9.5 won't last as long as a 9.8+, so let's leave that out of the equation. I just need something to handle about 100 pitches of short fixing. My current Mammut Infinity has handled about 200 pitches of short fixing, it still looks decent, but a new rope will feel much better when jugging 1000+ feet off the deck.
20 kN

I too have been very happy with my Mammut Infinity. Not sure what you mean by a good deal but just about everyone online is having 20% sales right now. Backcountry code for 20% one item is mar20 and they have a lot of Mammut ropes. You can get the 60m Mammut eternity or infinity for about $120. Use Active junky for an extra 7% back.
