Joker Golden Dry Unicore Rope 9.1mm x 60m

Mountain Line range: specifically developed for climbing in challenging weather conditions found when mountaineering or ice climbing, MOUNTAIN ropes benefit from 2 treatments: in addition to the sheath's DRY COVER treatment, all core strands are individually treated with a water repellent coating. The combination of both treatments creates a GOLDEN DRY rope. All MOUNTAIN ropes are GOLDEN DRY. They therefore feature the same benefits as INTENSIVE ropes, but with minimal water absorption and increased suppleness. All MOUNTAIN ropes are UIAA WATER REPELLENT accredited, and are constructed using the THERMO FLUID process creating a more compact and supple rope. Benefits: water and frost resistant; very little weight gain in humid conditions; prevents the rope diameter from expanding; rope runs smoothly through carabiners and belay devices; abrasion resistance during normal use.

UNICORE technology: an astonishing process, bonding rope sheath and core without affecting the rope's suppleness. If the sheath is cut or torn, the core and sheath remain bonded together so the sheath remains in place allowing you to escape through either ascent or descent whilst taking the necessary precautions. With a standard rope, if the sheath is cut by abrasion over an edge, a frequent occurrence in the mountains, it slides and gathers over some metres and it then becomes impossible to pass this zone, whether ascending or descending. UNICORE technology prevents all sheath slippage and is therefore particularly useful in wet snow and ice conditions such as you may encounter in alpine and ice climbing where the risk of sheath slippage is largely increased. The UNICORE process is compatible with the waterproofing and anti-abrasion treatments on ropes and also provides a durable resistance to moisture.
