Description

Detailed Description

Versatile rope for multi-pitch climbing and mountaineering:
– Duratec Dry treatment for use on rock, mixed terrain, snow, or ice: a water-repellent treatment that makes the rope more resistant to water, dirt, and abrasion. Handling, grip, and characteristics are preserved longer in cold and wet conditions;
– can be used by clipping one or two strands depending on the terrain or drag management.
Easy handling and durability:
– excellent diameter-to-weight-to-compactness ratio;
– 40-carrier grip for better control;
– reinforced durability thanks to Duratec Dry treatment;
– UltraSonic Finish: the core and sheath are bonded together at their ends by an ultrasonic process called UltraSonic Finish. This ensures greater durability and prevents the rope end from fraying.
User comfort:
– Middle Mark: indicates the middle of the rope to facilitate maneuvers;
– EverFlex treatment: specific thermal treatment that stabilizes the strands and makes the rope more consistent. It ensures excellent grip and consistent handling over time;
– ClimbReady coil: specific coiling to make the rope ready for use. It prevents initial uncoiling errors by the user and increases longevity.
