Fixe Rodellar 9.4mm

Introduction

The Rodellar is undoubtedly the sport climbing rope with the most features in Fixe’s collection. It’s Dry treatment and Fusion construction makes it durable and tough, which provides extra security when climbing over sharp rocks or ridges and helps to maintain its performance throughout its lifespan. It is destined to become one of the benchmark ropes for sport climbers who regularly do on-sight climbs and work on projects.

The small town of Rodellar lies in the heart of the Sierra de Guara, in the province of Huesca (Aragon). It is a world-class destination for canyoners and sport climbers alike. The climbing style is generally athletic, with large overhangs and walls with the occasional waterfall conducive to on-sight climbing. Lines like Coliseum and El Delfn have made Rodellar a top spot for sport climbing.

Fusion: Fusion is a rope construction system patented by Fixe that prevents the sheath from slipping. The rope’s performance is extended over time thanks to the firm union of the sheath and the core through a chemical component. This union also helps the rope to work optimally throughout its lifespan. The Fusion system provides an additional safety factor during climbing. If the sheath is cut off or torn, the sheath and the core will remain together, making it easier for the climber to manoeuvre to find the best solution on the wall.

Twisted Endurance Construction: A 48-wire braid extends the rope’s lifespan and improves handling when compared to a lower braided rope.

This prolongs the life of the rope by more than 60%. (Fixe in-house abrasion testing studies have held up 300% longer than classic strings).Endurance construction gives ropes a nicer feel, greater fluidity, and the ability to withstand 30% more abrasion cycles.

Dry treatment: Water-repellent treatment on the sheath. Provides resistance to oil, grease, and water. Extends the ropes lifespan.
