Single ropes
For ascent where only one rope is used. This is the most basic and widely used method of using rope for ascents.
TeNOTE
online tool designed for revising and tracking the condition of ropes. The application is available in Google Play or available on the Web interface. To register use TeNOTE code on the product packaging.
Half ropes
Separate ropes are anchored in alternating belaying points. This system reduces the risk of rope breakage by falling rocks and provides maximum protection in alpine conditions or on tough climbs.
Twin ropes
The same ropes are always used in pairs, secured at common belaying points. Twin ropes guarantee a high level of safety, especially for classic alpine climbing.
Complete Shield
Maximum level of rope protection against water and abrasion. It is reached by using the new progressive NANOTECHNOLOGY method. Tiny particles of TEFLON®Eco are applied to the rope sheath and core and make a film of almost impermeable protective layer. The rope fibres are then protected against dust and water which would othervise cause a harm to the rope construction. COMPLETE SHIELD is an impregnation which extends the general lifespan of TENDON ropes significantly. All ropes with the Complete Shield finish meet the UIAA 101 requirement for water repellent test
Compact
Our own special technology has been used for the ends of the rope. In a length of 15 mm, the core strand and sheath are connected into one unit.
Midpoint of rope
At half of the length, the rope is visibly marked by coloured band, which does not affect the core structure and its mechanical properties. Lengths 30 - 80 m only.

Master 8.6 Review: Light, Durable, and Perfect for Every Climb

Introduction
I've been climbing for over a decade, focusing mainly on sport climbing and big wall adventures. The Master 8.6 from Naturas, produced by Tendon, quickly became my go-to rope. It's the thinnest and lightest single rope I've ever used, and it excels in both performance and durability.

Features and Performance
The Master 8.6 stands out for its ultra-lightweight design and advanced features, making it ideal for demanding climbs. Here’s a closer look at what this rope offers:

Key Features:
- UIAA Certified: The rope meets the stringent safety and performance standards set by the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation, ensuring top-notch reliability.
- Simple Braid System (SBS): This system involves individually plaited strands that create a compact sheath. This not only reduces abrasion but also provides a smoother feel and better handling.
- Complete Shield Treatment: Both the sheath and core are dry-treated, protecting the rope from moisture and extending its lifespan.
- Midpoint Marking: The midpoint is clearly marked, aiding in efficient rope management during climbs and rappelling.

Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Lightweight: At just 50 grams per meter, the Master 8.6 is incredibly light, making it easy to handle and carry.
- Durable: The SBS and Complete Shield treatments significantly enhance the rope's durability, making it a reliable choice for long-term use.
- Versatile: Suitable for mountaineering, alpinism, and sport climbing, it adapts well to various climbing styles and conditions.
- Smooth Handling: The rope feeds smoothly through belay devices and offers excellent handling, which is critical during complex climbs.

Cons:
- Cost: Given its advanced features and performance, it is priced higher than standard ropes, which might be a consideration for budget-conscious climbers.
- Wear and Tear: Although durable, the thin diameter means it may show signs of wear faster than thicker ropes when used frequently on rough surfaces.

Share Your Experience
I've used the Master 8.6 on several challenging climbs, including a recent big wall expedition. Its lightweight nature made the ascent much easier, and the smooth handling helped during tricky sections. Compared to similar ropes, the Master 8.6 offered superior durability and handling. The midpoint marking was particularly useful for rappelling and managing long pitches.

Conclusion
The Master 8.6 by Naturas is a top-tier rope that combines lightness, durability, and excellent handling. It's an outstanding choice for serious climbers who demand the best from their gear. While it comes at a higher price point, the investment is justified by its performance and longevity. Whether you're tackling sport routes or big walls, the Master 8.6 will not disappoint.

If you're looking for a rope that delivers outstanding performance and durability, the Naturas Master 8.6 is an excellent choice. Highly recommended for climbers looking to take their skills to the next level.
