Arial Dry Climbing Rope - 9.5mm

Duratec Dry is a special treatment applied to climbing ropes that makes them resistant to water and moisture. This means your rope won't absorb water, keeping it lightweight and effective even in wet conditions. Additionally, it helps protect the rope from dirt and grime, extending its lifespan and maintaining performance, which is crucial for safe climbing.

EverFlex Technology ensures that your climbing rope remains supple and flexible over time. This means that even after extensive use, the rope will handle well and be easier to work with. This reliability is essential for climbers, as it enhances safety and performance during climbs.

The UltraSonic Finish is a technique used to bond the fibers at the ends of the rope, preventing fraying. This is crucial for safety, as frayed ends can weaken the rope and lead to failure. With this finish, you can trust that your rope will maintain its integrity and performance, ensuring a safer climbing experience.

UIAA Falls refers to a standard set by the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation that measures how many falls a climbing rope can withstand before it fails. A rope rated for 7 UIAA falls indicates that it is designed to be strong and reliable, providing you with the confidence you need while climbing.

Sheath construction refers to the outer layer of the climbing rope, which is made up of multiple carriers and materials, such as nylon. A well-constructed sheath protects the inner core of the rope and contributes to its overall durability and handling characteristics. This is essential for the rope's longevity and performance, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of climbing.

Features like Duratec Dry, EverFlex Technology, UltraSonic Finish, UIAA Falls rating, and robust sheath construction all enhance the durability, safety, and performance of a climbing rope. Investing in a rope with these technologies means you’re getting a reliable product that will last longer, perform better, and ultimately provide a safer climbing experience, making it a valuable addition to your gear.
