Petzl Volta Guide 9 mm climbing rope
Petzl Volta Guide 9 mm is the brand new high-end rope designed for technical mountaineering. The 9 mm diameter makes it extremely lightweight and suitable for use both as a single rope and as a twin or double rope. The major innovation is the UIAA Guide Dry waterproof treatment, which impregnates both the core and the sheath of the rope, making it ultra-resistant to water, dirt, and abrasion. As a result, the Volta Guide has a water absorption of less than 2% according to UIAA tests. Another important treatment it undergoes is Everflex, the thermal treatment that stabilizes the strands of the rope, making it soft and compact to the touch, allowing for a very effective grip that lasts a long time. The rope is equipped with a Middle Mark that indicates the halfway point of its length. Due to these characteristics, the Volta Guide is suitable for intensive use in all typical mountain environments, including rock, ice, and snow.
