  • thanx for your informations: So would you or petzl recommend beginners or weekend climbers 8.9 - 9.4 mm ropes (2 stars !) ??

    In overhills only "professionals" have the pleasure to fall with fallfactor 1

    in plates the partner stands much closer to the wall than shown in this video and

    holds the partner tighter .What means the rope information sheet :9 normfalls (factor 2) in practise ? How many falls with factor 1 like shown in the video are that for a climber btw

    65 -80 kg ?

  • How often the professionals change their sponsored ropes in a year ? After 8,9 great norm falls ?

    Can´t imagine , cause they fall all the time !

    Is a 9,4 mm cord compatible to all other security gear like 8 , carbins ?

    And what´s ,when the rope is a bit wet after a short rain shower ? I never would by buy  a 9,4 if I like to climb in plates too and when my partners don´t have enough practise with grigri and prefere to use their gear

  • @recbeatloop - PART.3

    Compatibility between belay devices and rope diameters are specified in the technical notice of each product.

    Warning the full compatibility between the rope and the belay devices, depends of a lot of parameter: conditions of the product, weight of the climber and belayer, the use of the product... The user is responsible to check the full compatibility before each use.

  • @petzlcrew - PART.2

    Petzl Spirit and Ange quickdraws are compatible with the use of a 9.4 rope. Regarding belay skills and the choice of the device it is up to you to manage that point with your belayer regarding his experience and the compatibility of the belay device and the type of the rope.

  • @recbeatloop - PART.1

    Because of intensive falls professional climbers do change their ropes often.The wear of the rope sheath is the major factor that leads to changing the ropes, in general the fall factors are very low on modern sport climbing routes (the numbers of fall in the dynamic rope standard is for fall factor 2, this type of fall isn't common even for pro climbers). All the instructions for checking a climbing rope can be found in the technical notice of the rope.
