Lightweight and Compact
The Rando 8 mm offers an optimized weight/performance ratio with 37 g per meter, ideal for long approaches, technical hikes, and ski touring where every gram counts. Its compactness makes it easy to store in a backpack without hindering equipment.
Mountain Design and Safety
Primarily designed for double use, the rope meets the EN 892 standard and the CE regulation 2016/425 (PPE category 3). In double use, it presents a shock force of 8.5 kN and withstands 12 falls under standardized conditions, ensuring adequate protection for glacier crossings and dizzying passages.
Technical Performance
The 32 strand construction and zero sheath slippage ensure good abrasion resistance and dimensional stability over time. The 8 mm diameter balances maneuverability and robustness for operations in mountainous terrain.
Recommended Uses
Intended for long-distance hiking, glacier hiking, mountain skiing, and double rope climbing, the Rando 8 mm is a versatile choice for activities where a lightweight and reliable rope is needed. It can also be used for dizzying passages and easy snow routes.
Limitations and Precautions
This rope can be used in single cases very limited, but it is not recommended for climbing or mountaineering on a single strand due to reduced performance (shock force and limited number of falls). Follow usage instructions and standards during belaying.
