Description
The Ice Line is a must have rope for ice climbers and expert climbers for its extreme fluidity and very low impact force. Its thinness makes for an exceptionally free running rope but also demands appropriate and specific belaying technique. UNICORE® technology, indispensable on a thin rope, prevents sheath slippage and bunching and, due to the bonding between the core and the sheath, will allow you to escape by abseil even if the sheath is cut, giving you extra security. This rope also has a Golden Dry treatment of the core plus a Dry Cover sheath to provide more resistance to ice and water and reduced weight gain in wet conditions as well as better resistance to abrasion, dust and water.
Features
The weight and free-running of twin tope plus the advantages of a double rope
Ultra low impact force
The rope doesn't bunch up, and remains supple for the long term
Sharp edge resistance - possesses all the advantages conferred by the UNICORE® technology (prevents sheath slippage, sheath bunching and allows escape by abseil even if the sheath is cut)
Every filament of the sheath and core of Golden Dry ropes is treated with a water repellent chemical that is polymerised at high temperatures for durability before the rope is manufactured resulting in a rope that gains little weight when wet, thickens only minimally, has improved abrasion resistance and has improved running when passed through carabiners and belay devices
