Petzl Dragonfly Climbing Rope - 8.2 mm

Petzl Dragonfly Climbing Rope - 8.2 mm description

Petzl made the Dragonfly 8.2mm Climbing Rope with 36% of the material in the sheath to give it the durability to handle demanding ice and alpine climbs around the world.

Bottom Line: Grab a pair of the durable Petzl Dragonfly 8.2mm Climbing Ropes for the performance you need on a big, demanding winter route.

Just last month I used one of these ropes on the Black Ice Couloir. The climb was a bit "modern" with thin and mixed sections and the rope was perfect, offering security and weight savings so we could move fast. The Valhalla Traverse was really fun with a little new snow to keep it interesting and offer some footing over the frozen kitty litter type material that you have to cross get to the Black Ice. These ropes are light weight and have great handling. The butterfly coil, as an other reviewer already said, really works well, eliminating the need to coil and uncoil your new rope several times to get the kinks out before use. These ropes are showing noticeably less wear than a pair of Beal cords that I had a couple years ago with even fewer pitches on them. Orange and green happen to be a couple of my favorite colors too!

light weight and highly dynamic makes for easy packing in and nice catching. love this rope. Bright colors make for easy clipping. butterfly coil works right out of the bag. Get this rope if your climbing ice or just doing alpine climbing or even for wandering rock.

I mainly top rope on small 70 to 80 foot rocks. this is lite enough and very flexable. what a great rope.

I bought 2 of these beauties for mixed and ice climbing and have been very impressed. Usually I avoid company's initial product lines, but these ropes handle well, have good durability and the butterfly coil really doesn't bind, making the rope easy to use right away.
