Lightweight Performance
The Petzl Volta Rope 9.2 mm Orange is designed for climbers and mountaineers who want to reduce equipment weight without moving away from the versatility of a multi-type rope.
Its 9.2 mm diameter provides a strong diameter-to-weight ratio, while the 55 g/m weight makes the rope easy to carry and compact to pack. Depending on the required application, it can be used in single, half, or twin rope configurations.
Duratec Dry Protection
The Duratec Dry treatment provides water-repellent properties that improve the rope’s resistance to water, dirt, and abrasion. This makes the VOLTA suitable for a variety of environments, including rock, mixed, snow, and ice conditions.
The treatment also helps maintain the rope’s handling and grip for longer in cold and wet conditions. Petzl’s Duratec Dry treatment is made without intentionally added PFAS, helping reduce the use of substances known to be harmful to health and the environment.
Smooth and Consistent Handling
Flexibility makes the VOLTA 9.2 mm easier to uncoil, manage loops, and feed slack through belay devices. EverFlex treatment uses a specific thermal treatment to stabilize the core strands, helping provide consistent handling and grip over the life of the rope.
The 40-carrier construction further contributes to grip and control, making the rope easier to manipulate during climbing.
Durable Rope-End Construction
The UltraSonic Finish bonds the core and sheath together at the rope ends using an ultrasonic process. This helps improve durability and reduces the likelihood of frayed rope ends during use.
The rope also features ClimbReady Coil, a specialized coiling process that makes the rope ready to use while helping avoid initial uncoiling mistakes. This can also contribute to increased rope longevity.
Easy Rope Management
A Middle Mark clearly indicates the center of the rope, helping climbers manage rope length more easily during climbing and rappelling situations.
The combination of the Middle Mark, flexible construction, and ClimbReady Coil makes the VOLTA easier to handle from initial setup through regular use.
