Push Rope - 9mm

A Semi-static Rope is designed to stretch less than dynamic ropes, making it ideal for activities like rappelling and canyoneering where falls are less likely. It provides some elasticity to absorb shock, ensuring safety and control during your descent or traverse. If you're looking for a rope that offers stability and reliability in these scenarios, a semi-static rope is the right choice.

The EverFlex Treatment enhances the rope's flexibility and handling characteristics, allowing it to maintain its shape and performance over time. This treatment makes it easier to handle, tie knots, and manage during use, ensuring that you can focus on your adventure without worrying about the rope's performance.

Static Elongation refers to the percentage of stretch a rope experiences when a load is applied. A lower static elongation means the rope will stretch less under load, which is crucial for safety and control in activities like rappelling. Choosing a rope with low static elongation helps ensure that you have better control and stability during your descent.

UIAA Falls indicate the number of falls a rope can withstand before it fails, as tested by the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation. A higher number of UIAA Falls means the rope is more durable and can handle more stress during use. When selecting a rope, consider the UIAA Falls rating to ensure it meets the demands of your activities.

Sheath Construction refers to the outer layer of the rope that protects the inner core and contributes to its overall durability. The "32 carrier" indicates the number of individual strands that make up the sheath, which affects the rope's flexibility and strength. A well-constructed sheath enhances the rope's lifespan and performance, making it a critical factor in your purchasing decision.

To determine if a rope is suitable for your activity, consider its specifications such as semi-static design, static elongation, UIAA Falls rating, and sheath construction. For canyoneering and rappelling, look for a semi-static rope with low static elongation and a high UIAA Falls rating to ensure safety and performance. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations for the best fit for your specific needs.
