The Tendon Alpine 7.9mm is a lightweight half/twin rope built for climbing where visibility matters as much as weight. With Complete Shield dry treatment and a bold, easy-to-spot design, it's built for mountain days where conditions turn and you need to find your rope fast.

Rated as both a half and a twin rope, the Alpine 7.9 gives you flexibility in rope systems for multi-pitch, ice and mixed routes, plus glacier travel. Complete Shield nanotechnology impregnates the sheath and core to resist water and abrasion to the UIAA 101 standard, while the striking colourway stays visible in flat light, spindrift or a low-visibility rescue. Suitable for all performance levels, from those building mountain mileage to seasoned alpinists. Red or yellow, in 40m, 50m and 60m.
