Collection: Ropes - Mountaineering - Doubles

All mountaineering ropes have physical ( ITT) as well as chemical (UDP) protection of the entire rope .

All GILMONTE ropes have a heat-treated sheath (ITT – Infra Thermo Treatment, known by other brands as "Protect", "Thermo Shield", "Endurance"...), which stabilizes the ropes, ensures better handling and connects the core with the rope sheath. At the same time, this treatment increases the durability of the sheath and makes it more difficult for dirt and water to enter the inside of the rope, which contributes to a longer life-span of the rope.

UDP - Ultra Deep Protect protection means that both the sheath and the core are chemically impregnated to repel water. Such ropes are called Full Dry and fulfill the UIAA Water Repellent standard (standard requirement is < 5.0 % of rope weight; Gilmonte ropes have < 1.4 %). The chemical impregnation agent is free of PFC chemicals, which are harmful to the environment. The main advantage of UDP-protected ropes is that the rope will not absorb water and freeze in winter conditions.
