UIAA Guide Dry Treatment

The UIAA Guide Dry treatment is our most complete water repellent treatment for frequent use in wet environments. It makes a difference especially for regular use in extreme environments: ice climbing, mountaineering. This treatment also improves the rope’s resistance to dirt and abrasion.

The UIAA Guide Dry treatment meets the requirements of the UIAA Water Repellent test. The results of this test indicate water absorption of less than 2 %.

The manufacturing process for UIAA Guide Dry treatment has two stages: the core is treated before the rope is braided, and then the entire rope is treated in order to minimize water absorption and penetration of fine particles into the rope.

Duratec Dry Treatment

Dry treatment, making the rope more resistant to water, dirt and abrasion. Handling, grip and other characteristics are retained longer in cold, wet conditions.

EverFlex Treatment

Special treatment stabilizes the core strands and improves consistency. Provides excellent grip and handling over time.

UltraSonic Finish

Ultrasonic welding bonds the core and sheath together at the rope ends. Gives greater durability and avoids frayed ends.

ClimbReady Coil

Specific coil makes the rope ready to use. Helps the user avoid initial uncoiling mistakes, and increases longevity.

Middle Mark

Indicates the middle of the rope to facilitate maneuvers.
