Durable Sheath for Projecting Routes

The Petzl Arial Rope 9.5 mm features a thick sheath designed to provide excellent abrasion resistance. This gives the rope a useful balance between durability and diameter, making it well suited to repeated climbing sessions and projecting routes.

EverFlex Treatment for Consistent Handling

Petzl’s EverFlex treatment uses a specific thermal treatment to stabilize the core strands. This helps maintain the rope’s flexibility, grip, and handling characteristics over time, providing consistent performance during repeated use.

Duratec Dry for Challenging Conditions

The Duratec Dry treatment provides water repellency that helps the rope resist water, dirt, and abrasion. It is designed for use across rock, mixed, snow, and ice environments while helping maintain good handling and grip in cold and wet conditions.

The Duratec Dry treatment is also made without intentionally added PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).

UltraSonic Finish for Durable Ends

The rope uses an UltraSonic Finish, which bonds the core and sheath together at both rope ends through an ultrasonic process. This improves end durability and helps reduce fraying during handling.

ClimbReady Coil and Rope Management

The ClimbReady Coil is designed to make the rope ready for use while helping prevent initial uncoiling mistakes. It also contributes to maintaining the rope’s longevity. A Middle Mark clearly identifies the midpoint, making rope management easier during climbing.

Good Grip and Flexible Handling

The 40-carrier construction provides a secure grip for better control. Combined with the rope’s flexibility, this makes it easier to give slack through compatible belay devices while maintaining consistent handling characteristics.
