8.5mm Cascade Trident Super-Static Rope. The sheath is constructed of a tested combination of three fibers, Vectran, UHMPE, and Polyester, These three yarns mixed together create a rope that will resist abrasion and sharp edges. The core is now made of UHMPE and Polypropylene. The Trident is a high performance, specifically engineered rope that will take you places.
*WARNING!!! Do not use with Titanium devices due to low heat dissipation. It may glaze the polyester and HMPE.

Reviews
I've used this rope in 30 canyons (20 Sandstone / 10 Flowing) and have been impressed with its durability and performance. After hundreds of rappels, the rope is supple and feels quicker than its diameter (more like bluewater & sterling, less like imlay). For the first dozen rappels, I needed more friction than expected on my rappel device and recommend using a 7mm VT prussik instead of 8mm. In the future, I'll soak and dry a few times before use to reduce sheath slippage. Great rope!
