WINNER: BenSelby


The Performance 9.2 is an ultra-lightweight rope designed for those who want to take their climbing to the next level.

Performance 9.2 Unicore has a hybrid design that synthesizes the extreme needs of serious climbers. The Performance is a certified single, half and twin rope, which means this rope jack and master of all trades. Available in Everdry and Supereverdry, these treatments help keep the rope water and abrasion resistant, extending its lifespan.

Sport, trad, ice and alpine climbers call on the Performance when every gram counts and the slightest bit of rope drag can mean the difference between success and failure on the sharp end.

In a review by the UKC Test Team last year the rope received a positive review after extensive use over a 6 month period:

"The rope handled really well straight out of the packet, being slick but not scarily shiny"

"It didn't twist excessively, and was supple enough to easily go through all the belay devices we used"

"The rope seems really durable, and we've been impressed with how long it has lasted, as it isn't a thick rope"

"A really good, well handling, durable rope"

More about the construction

Unicore

An astonishing process, bonding rope sheath and core without affecting the rope's suppleness. Even in the hardest conditions of use sheath slippage is suppressed.If the sheath is cut or torn, core and sheath remain bonded together. With a standard rope, if the sheath is cut by abrasion over an edge, a frequent occurrence in work at height and in rescues, it slides and gathers over some metres. It then becomes impossible to pass this zone, either to ascend or to descend. If the problem occurs near to the end of the rope the sheath may slide off completely, and the user fall to the ground.

With the UNICORE process the sheath remains in place and the user may escape, either by descent or ascent, taking all necessary precautions. He/she is not stuck without a solution on the rope. The UNICORE process brings an undeniable gain in security during delicate and dangerous operations.
