Move faster, lighter, and with greater confidence knowing you have a high-performance safety tool at your disposal.Engineered for superior performance, this cord boasts an innovative design. The Ortles Rappel Master Cord has a hybrid construction that uses ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) polyethylene in the core – a material lighter and stronger than both steel and Kevlar with a high breaking strength of over 15 kN – and robust polyamide to make the protective sheath. The combination gives a superb strength-to-weight ratio with excellent knotability and high UV resistance. The ideal lightweight solution for rappels or as a 40-metre emergency rope, it can be kept compactly stored in its roll-top compression bag until required.Unmatched Strength-to-Weight RatioAt the heart of the Ortles 6mm rope is its incredible strength that defies its featherlight and compact nature. This allows you to carry a full-length rappel or emergency rope without the weight and bulk penalty of a traditional static or half rope, freeing up valuable space in your pack for other essential gear. Its outstanding performance makes it an indispensable tool for technical descents, complex glacier travel, and unforeseen rescue scenarios.Versatile and Reliable HandlingBeyond its impressive strength, the Ortles Rappel Master Cord is built for real-world mountain use. The robust sheath not only protects the high-tech core from abrasion and cuts but also provides excellent handling characteristics. The rope offers superb knotability, allowing you to tie secure knots quickly and easily, even while wearing gloves in cold conditions. Furthermore, its high resistance to UV radiation ensures long-lasting durability and reliability, even after prolonged exposure to harsh alpine sun. This rope is the ultimate backup, ready when you need it most.---Features:* Climbing* Mountaineering---Technical Specifications:* Ropes: Specialized cord for rappelling and emergency use.* Certifications: EN 564* Material: PE, UHMWPE (like Dyneema)
