RUMBA® 8 mm. 8 mm diameter double rope with Duratec Dry treatment for climbing on long routes and mountaineering. The RUMBA 8 mm double rope provides great versatility on large rocky routes, in mountaineering or ice climbing. Provided with a reinforced cover, for greater durability, it also incorporates the Duratec Dry water-repellent treatment that increases its performance, in any condition. Thanks to its excellent grip in the hand and its manageability, manipulations are facilitated.
- Duratec Dry treatment for use on rock, mixed terrain, snow or ice: water-repellent treatment that allows the rope to be more resistant to water, dirt and abrasion. Handling, grip and features are maintained longer even in cold and wet conditions.
- Possible use by clipping one rope or two ropes depending on the terrain or friction management.
- Very good diameter/lightness/compactness ratio.
- 40-spindle grip for greater control.
- Reinforced durability thanks to Duratec Dry treatment.
- UltraSonic Finish: At the end of the string, the core and the cover are joined thanks to an ultrasonic finish called UltraSonic Finish. Allows for greater durability and prevents the end of the rope from opening.
- Middle Mark marking: marks the middle of the rope to facilitate maneuvers.
- EverFlex treatment: specific heat treatment that stabilizes the threads and makes the rope more homogeneous. It provides excellent grip in the hand and constant manageability over time.
- ClimbReady folding: specific folding so that the rope is always ready to be used. Prevents incorrect deployment maneuvers by the user and increases longevity.
