Maxim Pinnacle

We decided to include this option for those who specialize in the trad climbing that goes on for hours. It has got the smoothly running through belay tools sheath that performs great when using small carabiners for clipping. When combined with the Endura 2x Dry cover, this combo becomes a killer in terms of durability.

Another feature of this model called ‘Twill Pattern Technology’ aids in reducing friction, whereas the 9.5mm thickness gives the rope a soft and supple feel. This will be greatly appreciated by professional climbers, while beginners might find it more challenging to handle.

For this reason, we recommend this style of rope particularly to those who have sufficient experience with belaying to arrest the drop. But, if you are up for the challenge, this could be a great way to learn and advance faster.
