What to verify before choosing
- For life-safety gear, verify the exact model's applicable standards, manufacturer instructions and traceable authorized supply; CE marking and UIAA certification are not interchangeable.
- Rope diameter must match your belay device's rated range.
- Downturn and stiffness should follow your climbing, not your ego.
If a specification, certification or compatibility detail is absent, mark it as unknown and ask the seller or manufacturer. Do not substitute a star rating, an editorial score or a different model's specification.
