Sketchy pro, rockfall, tenuous traverses, razor-edged rock bring terror to the minds of most climbers. In situations like these, a single rope just won't do, you need the confidence and the security that half ropes will provide. Used in pairs, half ropes offer climbers many advantages over single ropes. They allow the leader to alternately clip into protection, which places less force on shaky gear. On long traverses, they protect the second in the event of a fall. And, they provide the security of an extra rope in case the rope becomes cut from rockfall, sharp edges, or ice tools. Features:The lightweight Marathon 8.8mm is the ideal rope for these situations, with its thicker, durable sheath, and low impact force. The 8.8 is the top two rope choice of top alpinists and mountaineers worldwide CLICK HERE for more information and price |
