Climbing ropes: diameter and tests?

BOA weighs less per meter while the diameter and test figures match. Compare weight alongside the shared diameter.

These figures cannot establish device compatibility or fall outcomes.

How the comparison works

Your choices are compared with each model’s product details. A missing or conflicting value stays unknown and cannot satisfy a choice you select. The starting order helps you browse; it does not rate real-world performance.

Source dates appear with each link below. A source date does not confirm today's price or stock.

A narrower rope can still have a higher impact figure

Petzl and EDELRID give you different combinations of diameter and impact force. Petzl’s ARIAL ® 9.5 mm has a maker test figure of 8.8 kN; CONTACT ® 9.8 mm is wider but has a lower figure of 8.4 kN. Choosing by diameter alone misses that trade-off.

These comparisons come from rope specification sheets, without loading or dropping the ropes ourselves. The impact figures describe the maker’s test conditions; they do not predict the force during your climb.

Elongation belongs in the whole climbing system

CONTACT ® 9.8 mm has 35% dynamic elongation and weighs 60 g per meter. ARIAL ® 9.5 mm has 32% dynamic elongation and weighs 58 g per meter. Those figures let you compare stretch and carried rope mass separately.

Neither elongation percentage calculates fall clearance for you. Check the rope instructions, device compatibility and every other component in your system; matching a device’s diameter range is only part of that decision.

Before you buy

Does the fall count tell me when to retire a rope?

The fall count is a laboratory test figure, rather than permission for that many falls in use. Follow your rope maker’s inspection and retirement instructions; the number does not establish remaining service life. EDELRID BOA and BOA GYM share 9.8 mm diameter, 8.8 kN test impact force and 32% dynamic elongation. BOA weighs less per meter.

Are length variants separate products?

Each rope model appears once. Choose the required length and available treatment on its manufacturer page.

Why is Enduro’s weight per meter unknown?

Enduro has no usable weight-per-meter value in these source records. That value remains unknown. For your chosen rope, select length and treatment on the maker page and follow its inspection and retirement instructions. You carry more with BOA GYM. BOA is 62 g per meter; BOA GYM is 68 g per meter. If you want less carrying weight, BOA differs, but these figures establish neither real-fall outcomes nor belay-device compatibility.
