Features
- Ultra-light thin rope for elite climbers:
- Allows optimal functioning in the belay device
- Multi-standard for use as a single, half, or twin rope
- For use in rock, mixed, snow, or ice environments
- Duratec Dry treatment: dry treatment makes the rope more resistant to water, dirt, and abrasion; handling, grip, and other characteristics are retained longer in cold, wet conditions
- UltraSonic Finish: the core and the sheath are bonded together at the rope ends by an ultrasonic process called UltraSonic Finish; gives greater durability and avoids frayed ends
- ClimbReady coil: specific coil makes the rope ready for use; helps the user avoid initial uncoiling mistakes and increases longevity
- Middle Mark: indicates the middle of the rope to facilitate maneuvers
- EverFlex treatment: special thermal treatment stabilizes the core strands and improves consistency; offers excellent grip and consistent handling over time
