C-IV Canyon Rope

No, this is a static rope designed specifically for canyoning and technical rappelling. Because it has very low elongation (2.0%), it will not absorb the energy of a lead climbing fall and should not be used for that purpose.

The polypropylene core is hydrophobic, meaning it actively resists water absorption. This keeps the rope from becoming heavy, waterlogged, or difficult to manage during long, wet descents in canyons.

Technora is an aramid fiber known for exceptional heat and abrasion resistance. In a canyoning environment, this helps the rope withstand friction against sharp, rocky edges and debris, significantly extending its lifespan compared to standard nylon sheaths.

No, the C-IV is engineered with 0.0% sheath slippage. This ensures the sheath and core remain perfectly integrated, preventing bunching or dangerous inconsistencies in the rope's diameter during rappels.

Yes, 9.0mm is a standard diameter for technical canyoning ropes and is compatible with most common descenders and belay devices. However, you should always check your specific device's manufacturer recommendations for minimum rope diameter compatibility before use.

At 46.9 g/m, this is a very lightweight rope. This reduced weight is a major advantage during long approaches or when carrying multiple ropes for complex, multi-stage canyon descents.
