Petzl made the Dragonfly 8.2mm Climbing Rope with 36% of the material in the sheath to give it the durability to handle demanding ice and alpine climbs around the world. This Petzl rope also uses single-pick construction to create a tight sheath that holds out dirt and grime to protect the core. Using two Dragonfly 8.2mm Climbing Ropes together in double-rope technique reduces rope drag and provides a redundant system to improve your margin of safety. Petzl added a dry treatment to both the sheath and core to keep this rope from getting wet in the harsh mountain environment. *Sold individually.
Bottom Line: Grab a pair of the durable Petzl Dragonfly 8.2mm Climbing Ropes for the performance you need on a big, demanding winter route.

Just last month I used one of these ropes on the Black Ice Couloir. The climb was a bit "modern" with thin and mixed sections and the rope was perfect, offering security and weight savings so we could move fast. The Valhalla Traverse was really fun with a little new snow to keep it interesting and offer some footing over the frozen kitty litter type material that you have to cross get to the Black Ice. These ropes are light weight and have great handling. The butterfly coil, as an other reviewer already said, really works well, eliminating the need to coil and uncoil your new rope several times to get the kinks out before use. These ropes are showing noticeably less wear than a pair of Beal cords that I had a couple years ago with even fewer pitches on them. Orange and green happen to be a couple of my favorite colors too!
Great rope

light weight and highly dynamic makes for easy packing in and nice catching. love this rope. Bright colors make for easy clipping. butterfly coil works right out of the bag. Get this rope if your climbing ice or just doing alpine climbing or even for wandering rock.
Can you use this rope by itself or does it need to be used as
Can you use this rope by itself or does it need to be used as a double. Anyone know the fall rating?

It's a half/double rope. All the info you need is in the Tech Specs on the right side of the page.

The short answer is you should typically use a double as a double. Note that the impact force rating for this rope is 5kN vs most single ropes at around 9kN. If you're top roping it might not matter, but you may not want to take many 20ft whippers on this rope.

I bought 2 of these beauties for mixed and ice climbing and have been very impressed. Usually I avoid company's initial product lines, but these ropes handle well, have good durability and the butterfly coil really doesn't bind, making the rope easy to use right away.
