Booster III Dry Cover Climbing Rope - 9.7mm

Unicore technology bonds the outer sheath of the climbing rope to its inner core, preventing the sheath from slipping off. This design enhances safety by ensuring the rope maintains its integrity under stress, reducing the risk of failure during climbs.

A Dry Cover treatment makes the rope's sheath resistant to moisture, dirt, and abrasion. This means that ropes with a Dry Cover are less likely to absorb water, keeping them lightweight and preventing damage in wet or dirty conditions, which is essential for maintaining performance during climbs.

Static elongation measures how much a rope stretches under a steady load. A lower static elongation is preferable as it means the rope will stretch less when a constant weight is applied, providing better control and safety during climbing activities.

Dynamic elongation indicates how much a rope stretches during a sudden force, like a fall. A higher dynamic elongation allows the rope to absorb the energy of the fall, reducing the impact force on the climber and gear, which is crucial for preventing injuries and equipment damage.

Sheath construction refers to the method used to create the outer layer of the rope. Ropes with advanced sheath constructions, like Unicore and Thermo Fluid, enhance durability and performance by protecting the core and improving handling, which contributes to the rope's overall lifespan and reliability during climbs.

When selecting a climbing rope, consider your climbing style and conditions. If you often climb in wet environments, look for ropes with Dry Cover. For safety during falls, prioritize ropes with higher dynamic elongation. Additionally, ropes with Unicore technology offer added safety and durability, making them a great choice for serious climbers.
