Master 8.5mm - Complete Shield

The Tendon Master 8.5mm Complete Shield is a climbing rope rated for both half-rope and twin-rope use, offering a practical balance of diameter and lifespan for trad climbing. At 46 g per metre, it combines an 8.5 mm diameter with Complete Shield treatment on both the sheath and core.

Built for days on the rock

When your route takes more than a single pitch, your rope choice matters. The Master 8.5mm brings together a slim diameter and protection against water, dust and abrasion, helping you build a rope system suited to the climb. Choose from 30 m, 40 m, 50 m and 60 m options in blue or yellow/green.

Complete Shield protection

Tendon's Complete Shield treatment uses a nanotechnology application of tiny TEFLON ECO particles on the rope's sheath and core. This forms a protective layer that helps limit the penetration of dust and water, which can damage the rope's construction, and helps extend its working life. The supplied specification states that Complete Shield ropes meet the UIAA 101 water-repellent test requirement.
