The safety mountaineering rope (1) has a core comprising a plurality of core ropes (2). In order to improve the tearing resistance of the rope (1), the rope core surrounds in the manner of a tube at least one cavity (3) extending over the entire length of the rope (1). In this case the cavity (3 )is filled by means of at least one resilient filling material or body, resilient at least as viewed in the radial direction of the rope (1), and which, when the rope (1) is pulled over an edge and with a high tensile force for example, results in a considerable momentary flattening of the cross-section of the rope when pulled over the edge and thus a considerably wider support of the rope (1) on such an edge. In addition, the rope core (2) is surrounded by a rope sheathing (4) provided with a protective layer (5) impervious to particles of dirt.
A safety mountaineering rope with a core comprising a plurality of core ropes (2), wherein said core ropes surround at least one region (3) extending over the entire length of the mountaineering rope (1), and said mountaineering rope further comprises at least one resilient filling material or body filling the region (3), and a rope sheathing (4) surrounding said core ropes, said sheathing including a protective layer (5) which is impervious to particles of dirt, and further wherein, as viewed in the radial direction of the mountaineering rope (1), the resilient deformability of the filling material or body is at least 30% greater at a specified radial force than that of the material of the core rope.
A safety mountaineering rope with a core comprising a plurality of core ropes (2), wherein said core ropes surround at least one region (3) extending over the entire length of the mountaineering rope (1), and said mountaineering rope further comprises at least one resilient filling material or body filling the region (3), and a rope sheathing (4) surrounding said core ropes, said sheathing including a protective layer (5) which is impervious to particles of dirt, and further wherein said mountaineering rope is provided with incorporated avalanche-seeking probes (8).
