Mammut Eternity Ropes

I just bought a Mammut Eternity Classic. There were two in the store, one 61g/m and the other 64g/m. Both were made in 2014, although the 61g/m rope has an earlier production number, around 3 thousand earlier. None of the other specs are different. Was there a change in the way these ropes were produced?

The 61g/m rope also features a rating scheme, with 4/5 stars for sport climbing, but 0/5 for multipitches. Is there any compelling reason not to use it for trad climbing/multipitches, since that's what I plan to do? I don't plan on doing any ice climbing or getting it wet, so I don't see why not.

Nope.

Go forth and climb.

Some of these star ratings seem pretty arbitrary My mammut rope has lasted forever. Enjoy!
