Petzl Nomad 9.8mm Climbing Rope

Item #PTZ0256 | 55 in Stock
5 Star Rating

My favorite rope

By Ranked #284 - Single Ropes December 15, 2009

I bought this rope when it first came out and I am still impressed with it. I first broke it in at Joshua Tree and it slid over that rough granite with almost no fraying. I've used it for all types of climbing on different types of rock, taking some big falls on occasion and it has held up extremely well. I like that it was stiff rather than mushy, it just felt more secure. I took great care of it and washed it several times and still use it to this day. There are no soft spots or serious frays or slippage. The only problem I have is that it is kinky, but I'm sure that is because I use it so much and always have coiled up in a bag going inbetween adventures.
