Description
Ultra-light: only 22 grams per meter
Specific sheath construction:
- compatible with the TIBLOC and MICRO TRAXION ascenders, thanks to the special Dyneema and aramid-reinforced sheath
- rough-textured sheath for better handling and descent control when rappelling, and to aid in braking when arresting a crevasse fall
Hyperstatic: cord elongation of less than 2 %, to facilitate and improve efficiency of rescue maneuvers, and also to eliminate the yo-yo effect during rappels or fall arrest in a crevasse
NB : a precise description of the possible uses for this cord is found in the RAD SYSTEM Product Experience (available at www.petzl.com).
