Product description

No matter if you're into trad climbing or mountaineering, head for the summits with the Rumba 8.00 mm by Petzl! This rope is approved for use as a half and twin rope and treated with the Duratec Dry finish. Thanks to this finish, you can also use the Rumba for ice climbing or dry tooling. It is fair to say that there are better ropes with complete treatment for these kinds of activities. However, the Duratec Dry treatment is dirt-repellent and thus protects the rope as well as the attached carabiners and belay devices against wear and abrasion.
With the Rumba, you enjoy all the advantages of a double rope: reliable safety, weight distribution during approaches and a full-length rappelling stretch. The EverFlex thermal finish is also worth mentioning. This technique stabilises and uniforms the fibres, which results in an easier handling. Enjoy your climb - head for the mountains with the Rumba 8.0!

I would never buy this rope again.

One of the double rope we bought in the summer of 2021 was damaged very badly, after the first uses.

We used it to climb some trad routes They were just simple, ordinary routes, and we did not make any falls in the rope. Nor did we have a in any way a deviant descent or something like that. Still, after 4 climbs (on granite and gneiss), we were stunned to see that one of the ropes, the red one, had deteriorated in a bad way on several distinct places. We had abseiled only once the days before, for 20m in granite, ropes through a good standard metal abseil ring, no problems in pulling the ropes down. After that moment, we abseiled 2 longer pitches in gneiss.
Only the red rope was damaged, the blue one was fine.
I have been climbing for over 30 years, and I have never experienced anything like that with a rope. I am convinced that there was something wrong with it to begin with.
