The Couloir has been specifically designed by DMM to have some of the best in industry resistance to cold wet environments. This makes the rope ideal for alpine climbing, winter mountaineering and even coastal ascents.
Low impact forces thanks to stringent UIAA testing provide extra security when falling on marginal gear without the need for Scream Aids. Designed to be used as a half or a twin rope the Couloir lives up to it's name for getting you up vertical walls in horrific conditions.
Rated as a twin rope for alpine and winter ice climbing
The UIAA dry treatment standard dictates that a rope must absorb less than 5% of its total weight in water after light abrasion and 15 minutes soaking.
ThermoControl heat treatment alters the fibres within the rope, balancing the core and sheath to minimise slippage and prevent the rope shrinking or going stiff. This increases durability, and gives ropes supple handling.
