Lightness and performance
The Volta 9.2 mm is an ultralight rope aimed at climbers and mountaineers seeking performance without sacrificing safety. Weighing only 55 g per meter and with a length of 70 m, it offers a particularly favorable diameter/weight ratio for long routes or technical approaches.
