Why We Like The Volta Dry Climbing Rope
Petzl had the Volta Dry Climbing Rope certified for use as a single, twin, or half rope so we can climb crags, ice, big walls, or mixed alpine routes with the same rope. The Volta sports a skinny 9.2-millimeter diameter and an ultralight weight (55 grams per meter) to keep elite climbers content. Petzl treated this rope with a Duratec dry treatment to resist water, dirt, and abrasion, and the treatment also provides better rope grip and handling in cold, wet conditions. This rope also has an UltraSonic finish to bond the core and sheathe together in order to eliminate frayed ends and enhance the Volta's overall durability. Its middle mark helps us find the center of the rope for quicker descents, and the ClimbReady coil lets us uncoil this rope out of its bag without big tangles.

Great Alpine Rope

Hard wearing and great Handling.
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
For most, we don?t think of a 9.2mm rope as hard wearing. However, I?m genuinely impressed in how well the Volta has held up after nearly a year of use. I initially purchased it for long multipitch ice and rock routes where I didn?t want dental floss, but also didn?t want to lug up a 10mm rope that would weigh as much as a ship anchor after a day of climbing on wet snow and ice. The 9.2 Volta struck a nice balance between weight, handling, and durability. It has survived terrain belays, sharp choss, sea cliff edges and dozens of late night dripping wet ice. I highly recommend this rope and I can assure you you don?t need to baby it. Petzl really outdid themselves with this rope
