Millet Absolutt TRX 9 40 M

This dynamic rope is the business for expert alpinists: optimized weight-wise, it’s a dependable product in all circumstances. Little wonder that the Chamonix Guides Company put their lives – and thei r clients’ – in its hands. “It’s the benchmark rope for Chamonix’s high-mountain guides,” confirms Laurent, product manager, “because they appreciate its expert versatility. You can move forward on glaciers or on arête crossings, and you can rappel with it if you like. But I’d not recommend it for novice climbers – you need to be really proficient with belaying systems.” The ABSOLUTE comes in Hydrophobic and non-hydrophobic versions; for crag climbing, an Anti-Friction model, with no water-repellent finish, is sufficient. Did you know… what the TRX stands for in this rope’s name? “Triaxiale – which is a special, and totally exclusive way of making the rope core,” explains MILLET’s ropes product manager. This manufacturing process requires machines that are able to braid the cores and not just to twist the polyamide threads. “These internal braids vary in number, depending on the final external diameter. We now know that these braids protect the core strands from internal abrasion.” Yes, internal – a rope gradually wears out from the inside, because an alpine rope is essentially thousands of grouped filaments, finer than hair, which are twisted, heat-treated, etc. The ABSOLUTE is the quintessential advanced model.

ROPES:
- Caring for a rope is critical in order to guarantee optimal safety when it is used.

- Drying should be done in the shade and away from any source of heat.
- Store your rope in a dry place, out of the reach of the sun.
