Description

8.5 mm diameter half rope for multi-pitch and alpine rock routes

The TANGO 8.5 mm is a half rope designed for multi-pitch climbing and mountaineering on rock. Excellent grip and great handling make for easier manipulation and use of belay devices. Additionally, the thickness of the sheath reinforces the rope’s durability. The middle mark makes rope management easier.

  • Designed for multi-pitch rock climbing:
    - Diameter provides excellent grip and easier handling
    - Two ropes can be clipped individually or together, depending on terrain or rope drag management
  • Durable and easy to grip:
    - Ideal mix of flexibility and ease of use
    - 8.5 mm diameter increases longevity
    - UltraSonic Finish: the core and sheath are bonded together at the rope ends by an ultrasonic process, which provides greater durability and helps avoid frayed ends
  • Convenient:
    - Middle Mark: indicates the middle of the rope to facilitate maneuvers
    - EverFlex treatment: specific thermal treatment stabilizes core strands and improves consistency, providing excellent grip and consistent handling over time
    - ClimbReady Coil: special coil makes the rope ready to use, helps avoid initial uncoiling mistakes, and increases longevity
