Who it's for? - Climbers
What it does? - A super skinny dynamic rope with a single, half and twin rating
How it does it? - A tighter braid pattern for increased durability even at the narrow diameter
The Argon is the skinniest and newest single rope in Bluewater's dynamic line. This triple certified rope is ideal for the climber who enjoys alpine, ice, sport, and mixed routes. Like Bluewater's other skinny ropes, the Argon has a tighter braid pattern which helps it outlast other competitors in this diameter range.
Note – This rope is not recommended for top-roping or working of routes due to its small diameter. All equipment MUST be rated to accept 8.8mm diameter ropes. ALWAYS test in a safe and controlled setting before climbing. For use by expert climbers only.
