Deep Dive
Paso Guide 7.7mm Rope: The Paso Guide 7.7mm Rope by Petzl is an ultralight and ultra compact rope designed for ice climbing and technical mountaineering. It has been recently updated with a Guide UIAA Dry treatment that ensures superior performance in wet conditions. The treatment is applied to both the sheath and core, resulting in water absorption of less than 2% and exceeding UIAA safety standards.
The rope's UltraSonic finish provides a secure bond between the sheath and core, preventing any slippage and ensuring long-lasting durability. It features a convenient middle marker for easy identification and comes in Petzl's Climb Ready Coil packaging, eliminating the need for a complicated uncoiling process that could potentially damage the rope.
