The tough, all-around Zephyr rope from Petzl® delivers exceptional control and abrasion resistance along with a low static elongation.

  • Large 10.3mm diameter allows additional friction in belay and rappel devices for enhanced control during descents or belaying
  • DuraTec dry treatment not only repels moisture, but improves durability by increasing abrasion resistance in both the sheath and core
  • Dry treatment helps preserve the outer sheath by reducing fuzzing of the sheath fibers while the inner core fibers benefit from lower overall friction
  • Low static elongation makes the Zephyr a great choice for jugging fixed lines and top roping
  • Crag-ready coil allows the rope to be used right out of the package; butterfly coil prevents tangles and kinking, just tie-in and start climbing
  • Middle of the rope is marked with a black bar to facilitate descents
  • Sonic welded rope ends resist fraying
  • Kernmantle design combines a durable braided sheath with a shock-absorbing core for protection from fall forces
  • Meets or exceeds UIAA tests for falls, impact force and elongation
  • 60m length for longer leads and rappels; suitable for sport, trad and top-rope climbing

Please note: Petzl products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Imported.

        Great handling, bad abrasion resistance

        By dclimber1

        About Me Avid Climber

        Pros

        • Great handling

        Cons

        • Bad abrasion resistance

        Best Uses

        • Long Climbs
        • Outdoor

        Comments about Petzl Zephyr 10.3mm x 60m Dry Rope:

        Purchased this rope and was very happy at first. It handles great, and has a wonderful feel on the line. However, on the very first day of use during top roping, we found an abrasion in the sheath--didn't cut to far into the rope, but enough to expose the core and freak us out. Purchased it for its abrasion resistance rating, so was very surprised to see this happen. Suppose you could call it a freak accident, still not taking chances. Returned it promptly. Will choose rope with sharp-edge rating next.

        Service and delivery comments:

        Customer service was excellent. REI caused no hassles on the return. Their customer service is will ensure my continued participation.

        Comments about Petzl Zephyr 10.3mm x 60m Dry Rope:

        I bought this rope and was at first amazed by its specs and its low price. However after using it a few times, it is perhaps the kinkiest rope I have ever used. Even after coiling, recoiling, falling, hanging, and just about all normal use, it remains to twist and tangle with the slightest touch. Hopefully petzl will change how it will construct its ropes for the future.

          Best Uses

            Comments about Petzl Zephyr 10.3mm x 60m Dry Rope:

            I like and buy Petzl products. However, this rope is an inferior product, perhaps because it is one of the first ropes Petzl has produced. My rope has worn much more in one year of moderate use than my previous rope (a Mammut with similar specs) wore in 4 years at about the same rate of use. It is also much more likely to kink. From reading web posts, I understand that many others are experiencing similar problems. I hope that Petzl irons out the problems in the near future

              I've had this rope for a year climbing one or more times a week, it had a soft feel right away it has taken a few big lead falls and been subjected to significant rope drag, there is one spot on the rope with a little bit of fuzziness on the sheath. it has held up great to a lot of use as there is no core slippage. It is about ten feet longer than a mammut 10.2mm X 60m

              Ugh. What a piece of junk. The sheath has turned into a fuzzy mess in a few months of use that picks up dirt like crazy and is a pain to belay with. I've owned ropes from blue water, beal, and sterling and never seen this happen this quickly. Total garbage.

                This was my first rope - and I really like the feel of the rope. However, it has worn out really quickly (within 9 months of usage), even though I extend it pretty religiously, etc. After reading the other reviews here it looks like others had similar issues. I'll certainly read rope reviews prior to purchasing my next rope.

                    I wish I had read these reviews BEFORE I bought this rope. It started to fray immediately and didn't stop until I sent it back to Petzl with a friendly letter. To Petzl's credit, they replaced it with another rope of my choice from their product line. I will research another Petzl rope purchase alot before buying again, that's for sure. My other ropes have lasted much longer.

                      After reading the other reviews on this rope, it only confirmed my findings on this rope. Like previously stated, it is a strong rope that saved my rear a couple of times. However, it frayed after the first couple of uses and I had a lot issues with it getting twisted up.
