The VOLTA GUIDE 9 mm rope offers the extreme lightness and compactness required for ultimate performance on rock faces, as well as the flexibility and most comprehensive hydrophobic treatment for mountaineering.
It benefits from the Guide UIAA Dry treatment, which gives it excellent moisture resistance, making it particularly suited for daily use in extreme conditions. Thanks to its grip and maneuverability, handling is made easier.
It is available in several lengths depending on the intended use, from 30 meters for classic mountaineering to 100 meters for long rock face routes.
