Category: Climbing Ropes

This is a highly specialized ultra lightweight and compact hyperstatic cord designed for extremely experienced and technically accomplished skiers roping up on a glacier, rappelling, and doing crevasse rescue.  The sheath is textured to allow for better grip ability.  Compatible with both the Petzl Tibloc and Petzl Micro Traxion.  This is a static rope and is not to be used as a lead climbing rope for belayed climbing or simul-climbing with fixed anchors due to the risk of extremely high impact forces during a fall.  Made with a mix of HMPE, Polyester, and Nylon.  The static nature of this cord eliminates the yo-yo effect during rappels or the arrest of a crevasse fall.  This is a flexible cord with a rough-textured sheath to improve handling and descent control while rappelling and to aid in breaking when arresting a crevasse fall.

Michael ★★★★★

The weight difference is immediately noticeable when you’re already hauling a pack across a glacier. I was skeptical about how a 6mm line would handle on rappels, but it fed through the device smoothly without any kinking.

Adam ★★★★★

Took this on a crevasse rescue course and the 6mm diameter packs down to almost nothing in my pack. Rappelling off it takes some getting used to since there's barely any friction, but that's exactly what you want in a hyperstatic cord.

Madison U. ★★★★★

Finally got around to using it on a glacier traverse and the compact size made it disappear in my pack. It handles rappels cleanly and the hyperstatic behavior is exactly what you want for crevasse work.
