Petzl Paso - 7,7mm
The Petzl Paso 7.7mm is a great rope for technical routes that handles really well and can be used for a multitude of different climbs. The 7.7mm diameter means that it's super lightweight, while the Duratec Dry treatment makes it water, dirt and abrasion resistant, so it lends itself well to bad-weather mountaineering and ice climbing. A combination of the Duratec and EverFlex treatment increase the durability and longevity of the rope, as well as making it easy to handle when belaying and in bad weather. Finally the ClimbReady coil means it can be used as soon as you take it out of the packet, with no annoying uncoiling tangles or kinks.
