Alpine 7.9mm

The Tendon Alpine 7.9mm is a lightweight half and twin climbing rope with Complete Shield dry treatment for mountain climbing. At 38 g per metre, it keeps rope weight down on the approach, while treatment on both the sheath and core helps protect against water and abrasion.

Less weight for bigger mountain days

From multi-pitch rock routes to ice and mixed climbing, the Alpine 7.9mm is built for climbers balancing pack weight with the demands of mountain terrain. Its half-rope and twin-rope ratings give you a choice of approved paired systems, with red and yellow colour options to help distinguish your strands.

Complete Shield dry treatment

Complete Shield uses nanotechnology to treat the rope's sheath and core, helping resist water penetration and abrasion. The supplied description lists the UIAA 101 water-repellency standard. Check the manufacturer's current specification for treatment performance and care instructions.

Choose the right rope system

For alpine climbing, glacier travel, ice, mixed and multi-pitch routes, choose your rope system and length using route-specific information and qualified instruction. Half-rope and twin-rope ratings do not mean this rope can be used as a single-rated lead rope. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for permitted configurations, equipment compatibility, inspection and retirement.
