Hard Choc

A rope's weak point is its resistance to an impact on a rough rock edge. Conventional ropes break when submitted to this type of fall. HARD CHOC technology passes this test: a fall on a piece of metal that has a 90° angle and a rounded edge with a radius of 1 mm.

Tot Sec

A system used by ROCA to guarantee that the ropes are water repellent. In this way, the ropes are able to withstand even several days of rain, snow or ice, without becoming saturated or frozen or increasing in weight.

Bicolor

If it is important to find the middle of the rope quickly, you need a BICOLOR. The thread pattern of the sheath changes in the centre of the rope, forming two clearly different halves.

Long Life

A system developed by ROCA, thanks to which the rope remains flexible and keeps its good handling properties, thus extending its useful life.
