PLASMA TREATMENT
Special treatment to improve string fluidity.
MIDDLE MARKING
To enhance your safety, this rope has a black marking indicating the middle of the rope.
TECHNICAL DATA
NUMBER OF FALLS: 6
IMPACT FORCE: 9.3 KN
DYNAMIC ELONGATION: 30.8%
STATIC ELONGATION: 5.6%
SHEATH SLIPPAGE: 0
WEIGHT
58 g/m
ATTENTION: Weight is measured in accordance with EN 892.
For example, for a single rope, the rope must be tensioned by 10 kg for 1 min under very precise temperature and humidity conditions.
As a result, the actual weight of the rope is often greater than the weight stated in the standard.
Measuring weight in accordance with the standard enables ropes to be compared with each other.
ECO-DESIGN
To reduce environmental impact, our designers have chosen to dye the sheath wires using "dope dye" technology (the core wires are not dyed).
This technology integrates color pigments into the mass of the yarn as soon as it is manufactured. It differs from conventional dyeing by reducing the amount of water required and the quantity of wastewater discharged from the dye baths.
Result: a 36% reduction in the environmental impact of sheath yarn.
FRENCH PRODUCTION
All our ropes are designed and tested in Chamonix, in the Mont Blanc valley.
They are manufactured in Northern France, at our partner factory Cousin, with 170 years of industrial expertise in ropes.
WASHING YOUR ROPE
It is essential to maintain your rope to limit wear and tear.
As dirt ages the rope, we recommend:
1- using a rope cover;
2- If the rope is sale, wash it with clear, lukewarm water.
If stains persist and you want to clean them with soap, use a neutral soap, such as Marseille soap, and rinse abundantly with clear water afterwards.
3- Dry in the open air and in the shade, away from any source of heat.
STORE YOUR ROPE
Rope should be stored away from light, moisture, chemicals and heat. Be careful not to leave it inside a car in midsummer, for example.
CONTROL YOUR ROPE
It's important to check your rope regularly. To do this, slide your hands over the rope and look closely, metre by metre, at the entire length of the rope. This will enable you to spot any cuts, nicks, abrasions or soft spots on the rope. If you notice any of these anomalies or irregularities, if the core is visible in certain places, if it is deformed or has been subject to too many falls, you need to change it. We don't play with safety!
ROPE LENGTH EVOLUTION
All climbing ropes shrink with age. This generally ranges from 2 to 5%, but can be as much as 10% depending on humidity, heat, falls, washing, etc.....To reduce this effect, we provide an extra length margin in production, but sometimes this is not enough, so we recommend that you measure your rope regularly and check the location of the marking in the middle of the rope.
