Petzl Contact 9.8 Rope

The new Petzl Contact 9.8 is a smooth handling and durable workhorse rope for everyday use on everything from top-roping to redpoint attempts.

There are better specialty ropes out there—both on the thicker and thinner ends of the spectrum—but the Petzl Contact 9.8 walks a nice line, providing much of the durability of a thicker rope along with the smooth handling of a thinner line.
