Fixed ropes for ascending and climbing

Fixed ropes are indispensable, particularly in expedition mountaineering. In such tours, mountaineers must tackle challenging sections, often under extreme conditions and with heavy baggage, multiple times. Here, a route is secured with fixed ropes to allow for rapid progress and to ensure vital safety. Fixed ropes are also used in the establishment of high-altitude camps and material transport in the mountains.

In addition to the classic use in high-altitude mountaineering, fixed ropes are also a valuable aid in securing new climbing routes in steep and rocky walls. They can be permanently installed to allow for the quick transport of materials and equipment. Furthermore, they are an indispensable tool in alpine rescue techniques and are used in the construction of paths, via ferratas, and other structures in demanding and difficult terrain.

For fixing, setting up and installing such ropes as ascending aids, static ropes with a diameter of 8 to 10mm are recommended. Depending on the nature of the terrain, such as steepness, the tension of the rope and the number of anchor points should be carefully adjusted and planned.
