The Fixe Oliana 9.2mm is a versatile rope that conforms to triple standards - single, double, and twin. It is particularly suitable for sport climbers seeking a lightweight and high-performing rope. Its Fusion construction ensures excellent protection while navigating sharp rocks and ridges. Despite its slim diameter and lightweight design, it weighs 56 grams per meter, making it an ideal choice for on-sight climbing and multi-pitch. It is also highly recommended for mountain guides needing a "short rope" technique on rocky terrain and for groups instructing three or more climbers.
Oliana, in the Alt Urgell region (Catalonia), is one of the meccas for sport climbing worldwide. The high concentration of hard routes distributed between very few walls makes it an essential destination for sport climbers. There you can find 50-metre-long overhanging routes where the weight of the material has a great influence on the result of the climb.
Fusion: Fusion is a rope construction system patented by Fixe that prevents the sheath from slipping. The rope's performance is extended over time thanks to the firm union of the sheath and the core through a chemical component. This union also helps the rope to work optimally throughout its lifespan. The Fusion system provides an additional safety factor during climbing. If the sheath is cut off or torn, the sheath and the core will remain together, making it easier for the climber to manoeuvre to find the best solution on the wall.
Twisted Endurance Construction: A 48-wire braid extends the rope's lifespan and improves handling when compared to a lower braided rope.
This prolongs the life of the rope by more than 60%. (Fixe in-house abrasion testing studies have held up 300% longer than classic strings). Endurance construction gives ropes a nicer feel, greater fluidity, and the ability to withstand 30% more abrasion cycles.
Dry treatment: Water-repellent treatment on the sheath. Provides resistance to oil, grease, and water. Extends the rope’s lifespan.
