Product description:
The Petzl VOLTA® GUIDE 9 mm is an ultralight, versatile climbing rope with a diameter of 9 mm. It is suitable for both rock climbing and mountaineering and offers excellent water, dirt and abrasion resistance thanks to its Guide UIAA Dry impregnation.
Key features:
-
Lightweight and compact: Weighing only 54 g/m and with a diameter of 9 mm, the rope is particularly light and can be stored compactly.
-
Water-repellent: The Guide UIAA Dry impregnation ensures that the rope stays dry even in damp conditions and meets the requirements of the UIAA Water Repellent Test (water absorption below 2%).
-
Improved durability: UltraSonic Finish technology bonds the core and sheath at the ends of the rope using ultrasound, increasing durability and preventing splitting.
Which rope length is suitable for which high-altitude climbing team?
We recommend the following lengths for the following rope teams:
2-person rope team: 40 meters
3-person and 4-person rope teams: 60 meters.
The rope length varies for each tour. Key factors include the number of people, the terrain, and also the weather (visibility). Furthermore, certain rope rescue techniques (e.g., using a pulley) require more rope.
Please be sure to inform yourself beforehand about the planning and execution of a rope team! The German Alpine Club (DAV) and Ortovox are good sources of information for this.
