Mechanical specifications
- Twin rope indicated by a red strand in a Z-shape
- Relative elongation: 5.8 %
- Impact force < 12 kN
- Number of falls without breaks in double use (with fall factor 2): > 40
- After the use test (100 descents), the rope must still withstand more than eight fall tests on a single rope (fall factor 2) with 55 kg.
- User test: 100 descents
- Knotability: 0.54
- Water-repellent
