Watch Rockies Climbing with Tough Maxim Platinum Rope

Gripped editor Brandon Pullan took the new Maxim Platinum 9.8mm x 70m Dry Rope up a number of routes in the Canadian Rockies this summer.

It’s the first dynamic climbing rope on the market with a permanent connection between core and sheath. It glides easily through quickdraws and is extremely durable. Highly recommended.

One of the best features is the tracer colour that is woven through the rope that changes at the midpoint. The increased number of red tracers near the end of the rope mean you’re reaching the end of your rappel.

Rad day with @adamo1979 behind EEOR above Canmore. We climbed two new routes: Homage to the Warden 5.6 350m in memory of Tim Auger on the second buttress, and The Halfpipe 5.10b 100m in memory of MA. Surprisingly sublime stone. Here I am heading up the headwall on Homage to the Warden. Topos soon! Loving the new @maxim Platinum rope. #legends #climbing #grippedmagazine

You can really feel the permanent connection between core and sheath, which boosts durability and prevents slippage. There was minimal drag which made it a great rope for climbing sport, trad and developing new routes.

Tested on alpine, sport climbs and steep multi-pitches over six months and it’s still going strong with no sign of wear and no colour change. Highly recommended.
