The CONTACT WALL 9.8 mm single rope is designed for gym climbing. Lengths adapted to gym use, 30 and 40 meters, preserve users’ rock climbing ropes while limiting both the weight and bulk of their gym climbing bags. It strikes an excellent balance between low weight and durability, for greater versatility. Excellent grip and great handling make for easier manipulation and use of belay devices. Additionally, the thickness of the sheath reinforces the rope’s durability.
