Tech Specs
What is DryCore technology, and why is it important for climbing ropes?

DryCore technology prevents the core of the climbing rope from absorbing moisture. This is crucial because wet ropes can become heavier and less durable, which can compromise safety and performance. With DryCore, your rope remains lightweight and strong, even in wet conditions, ensuring you can rely on it during your climbs.

Big fan

This is my second time getting this rope. It is well priced, durable and handles smoothly.

Almost great

This rope catches very nicely, doesn’t tangle easily and feels nice in the hand. It feels a bit more slippery than I’d like, but I also climb with heavier climbers so that could be the reason for that. I’ve only had it one season though and it’s already showing considerable wear, more than I feel it should. That’s why I gave it 3 stars.
