Description

The first rope designed specifically for Colorado Plateau Canyoneering, the Canyon Fire has become popular with discerning canyon enthusiasts across the globe. This is a “sheath-heavy” static rope, with 60% of the material devoted to the sheath. The result is a cut resistant, durable rope at a slightly higher weight than our 8mm rope. This rope is on the stiff side for a tad more friction, to help resist cutting, and so it has a noticeably lesser tendency to get stuck in cracks on the pull down.

Conditioning your rope: it is a good idea to condition your rope before first use to bind the sheath to the core. Soak the rope in water for an hour or two, then hang it up to dry. Three cycles of this, then it is ready to go. Many times this happens naturally in the rope’s first canyon, but long ropes tend to escape this fate. Please condition your long ropes before using.
