Description

Detailed Description

Multi-purpose rope for multi-pitch climbing and mountaineering:
– Duratec Dry treatment for use on rock, mixed, snow or ice: hydrophobic treatment that allows the rope to be more resistant to water, dirt and abrasion. Handling, grip and characteristics are preserved longer in cold and wet conditions,
– use possible by clipping one or two ends depending on the terrain or traction management.
Easy grip and resistance:
– excellent diameter/lightness/compactness ratio,
– grip of 40 spindles for better control,
– reinforced resistance, thanks to the Duratec Dry treatment,
– UltraSonic Finish: the core and the sheath are joined at their ends thanks to an ultrasonic finish called UltraSonic Finish. It allows for longer life and prevents the end of the rope from breaking.
Comfort of use:
– Middle Mark: half-rope distinction to facilitate manoeuvres,
– EverFlex treatment: specific heat treatment that stabilises the strands and makes the rope more homogeneous. It guarantees excellent grip and constant handling over time,
– ClimbReady furling: specific furling to make the rope ready for use. It prevents incorrect unwinding manoeuvres by the user and increases longevity.
