Half Rope

In this category, you will find dynamic half ropes. Half ropes (also known as double ropes) are designed to be used in a twin rope technique and can be used to simultaneously secure two second climbers in a single rope technique for teams of three. Unlike twin ropes, however, half ropes do not have to be clipped together in a twin rope fashion at intermediate anchors. Instead, they can be placed separately and alternately into routes with cross-placed protection. This method can help minimize friction during climbing and significantly reduce the impact force in case of a fall. Moreover, the ambitious climber benefits from the redundant use of two ropes, especially in terms of potential rockfall or excessive sharp edge strain during alpine climbing tours in difficult terrain or ice and mixed climbing.
