Compatibility, Size and Fit
Rope diameter and type matter when checking compatibility with climbing equipment. Consult the instructions for the specific belay device and other components in your system; do not rely on a general diameter match alone. The 70 m length is another selection factor, since it may not suit every route or setup.
What to Compare Before Buying
- Equipment compatibility: Check that your belay device and other equipment are specified for a 9.8 mm single dynamic rope.
- Length: Confirm that 70 m is appropriate for the routes and system you have in mind.
- Exact configuration: Match the VR9 name and EKV9070070 code, and check the rope’s markings and documentation.
Before You Decide
Confirm the rope type, 9.8 mm diameter and 70 m length against your intended setup. Check the exact rope’s certification markings and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the rope and the rest of your climbing system.
