Detailed description

Multi-purpose rope for long route 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, prehension and characteristics are preserved longer in cold, wet conditions,
– use possible by clipping one or two ends according to terrain or traction management.
Facilitated prehensibility and strength:
– excellent diameter/lightness/compactness ratio,
– grip of 40 spindles for better control,
– reinforced strength, thanks to Duratec Dry treatment,
– UltraSonic Finish: the core and sock are joined at their ends by an ultrasonic finish called UltraSonic Finish. It allows for greater durability and prevents the rope end from breaking.
Comfort of use:
– Middle Mark marking: distinction of the mid-string to facilitate maneuvering,
– EverFlex treatment: specific heat treatment that stabilizes the threads and makes the string more homogeneous. Provides excellent prehension and consistent handling over time,
– ClimbReady winding: specific winding to make the rope ready for use. Avoids incorrect unwinding maneuvers by the user and increases longevity.
