Product Detail

The Petzl Rumba DRY 8mm half rope offers lightweight usability along with superb versatility when multi-pitch climbing, mountaineering or ice climbing.

Featuring a reinforced sheath for greater durability, the Rumba also provides Petzl's Duratec Dry treatment for enhanced performance under all conditions - meaning this rope can safely and effectively be used on rock, mixed, snow or icy environments. This dry treatment also makes the rope more resistant to water, dirt and abrasion; handling, grip and other characteristics are retained longer in cold, wet conditions. The UltraSonic finish welds the core and the sheath as one, further improving durability and avoiding frayed ends. The Rumba comes 'ClimbReady' (lap coiled) meaning it's set for use straight out of the packaging. A Middle Mark helps further improve safety margins, and finally, the EverFlex (thermal) treatment stabilises the core strands and improves consistency of use over the life span of the rope.
