PETZL Arial RED 9.5 X 80 M

DESCRIPTION

The Petzl Arial 9.5 mm 80-meter is a single rope certified for sport climbing and mountaineering, built to offer a concrete balance between low weight and high mechanical resistance. With a diameter of 9.5 mm, it falls into the high-performance thin rope category, ensuring smooth handling through quickdraws and superior manageability on multi-pitch routes.

Technical features

• The Duratec Dry treatment waterproofs both the core and the sheath, protecting the rope from water, ice, and dirt absorption, with a direct impact on longevity and the retention of dynamic properties over time.
• The number of UIAA certified falls guarantees an adequate dynamic safety factor for use on crags and ice.
• The 80-meter length makes it ideal for long routes where belays are more than 40 meters apart, eliminating the need for additional double ropes.
• The manufacturer declares a contained weight per meter, which over 80 m translates into a manageable total weight even during challenging approaches.

Use and context

The Arial 9.5 is aimed at those who frequent both technical crags and alpine multi-pitch routes, seeking a single rope that does not compromise between safety and pack weight. The Duratec Dry treatment makes it reliable even in humid conditions or on mixed terrain, where an untreated rope would quickly lose its dynamic characteristics. The Red color facilitates quick identification of the middle point during maneuvers on the wall.
