Features of the Petzl Volta Guide 9.0 mm
Compact and ultra-lightweight for ultimate climbing performance:
- ultralight at just 54 g/m,
- compact thanks to its small diameter of 9 mm,
- ClimbReady technology: special winding for ready-to-use ropes. It prevents errors when unwinding by the user and increases the service life.
Extremely moisture-resistant and therefore ideal for technical mountaineering and ice climbing:
- Guide UIAA Dry impregnation: the water-repellent complete impregnation ensures that the rope stays dry day after day in all conditions. It meets the requirements of the UIAA Water Repellent Test standard (water absorption of less than 2%).
- Increased durability thanks to Guide UIAA Dry impregnation.
