Specs
Weight
7lbs. 14oz.
Performance
The Contact was soft and supple from day one: easy to clip, effortless to knot, and smooth-running through every type of belay device we tried. And even after a month of heavy use, it hasn’t fuzzed up (a common issue with ropes).
Diameter
The 9.8mm diameter is ideal for both experienced lead climbers and beginner climbers who prefer to toprope. It’s durable, but still light (7.9 pounds for a 60-meter rope).
Middle mark
A clearly visible, central mark makes the Contact great for multipitch climbs and descents involving a rappel.
