This performance half-rope is also fully certified for use as a twin. While it might be skinny, the Photon is designed to offer the right balance between diameter and weight. Its sleekness and ability to be clipped as a half or twin, reduces rope drag on long pitches, making it an excellent choice for ice, wandering rock routes, and alpine adventures.
- Designed as a half or twin rope so must be used in pairs
- Meets testing standards for half, and twin ropes
- DryCore treatment on core yarns reduces yarn-on-yarn abrasion and moisture absorption, so your rope maintains its strength characteristics
- DeltaDry dry coating is certified to the UIAA Water Repellent standard of less than 5% water absorption. It protects the rope from water absorption, which reduces weight, prevents freezing, and slows down the wear on the sheath to a noticeable degree
- Specs shown are for use as a half rope
- When used as a twin rope, the specs are as follows (based on tests with 2 strands): Dynamic elongation: 32.3% Static elongation: 6.5% Impact force: 8.7kN UIAA fall rating: 16
