Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"Half ropes give your climbing system added strength and versatility. Be safe, not intended for use as a single rope. Smaller 8.5mm diameter saves weight, but remember to pair it up. Kernmantle construction combines a dynamic, load-absorbing core nylon strand with a woven nylon sheath for protection and durability. Super Dry sheath and core repels water and dirt, increasing the rope's life. Half ropes are designed to be used as a matching pair; handling, elongation and strength differ from brand to brand and size to size."

From EMS:
"With a diameter of just 8.5 mm, this 60-meter "half" (or double) rope must always be used in pairs. The ropes are clipped into protection alternately, which greatly reduces rope drag over rock obstructions. Climbing with two ropes is safer when ice climbing (if one rope gets sliced, you're still OK). Two-rope configuration allows for longer rappels. Due to the high proportion of sheath, this double rope is extremely robust and chafe resistant. Treated to prevent water saturation. Only one rope per purchase. We recommend that the two ropes be of different colors for easier rope management."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Designed for alpine mountaineering, traditional rock, and ice/mixed climbing, the Mammut Genesis 8.5mm Half Rope incorporates a high proportion of sheath to give extreme durability, abrasion resistant's, and high safety reserves. This double rope offers excellent handling characteristics, and gives your climbing system added strength and versatility. Be safe, not intended for use as a single rope."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"Due to the high proportion of sheath, the Mammut Genesis is extremely robust and abrasion resistant, with very high safety reserves and excellent handling.Mammut Genesis Specifications: DIAMETER: 8.5mm WEIGHT: 48g/m UIAA FALLS: 12-13 IMPACT FORCE: 6.4kn ELONGATION: 9% SHEATH PROPORTION: 49%"
