The Millet Silver Triaxiale is a lightweight 9.8mm rope for sport climbing with a Triaxiale braided core and Anti-Friction treatment. The rope is available in 60, 70, and 80 meter lengths and two colors: green and orange.

Handling
In testing, the Silver Triaxiale was one of the most popular ropes in terms of handling. The rope fed smoothly through belay devices, knotted with ease, and provided confident catches during falls. Over the life of the rope, the handling characteristics remained favorable, in part due to the rope’s great durability.

Resistance to Dirt

Millet treated the rope with their Anti-Friction technology which is intended to offer resistance to dirt and abrasion. This treatment kept the rope cleaner than many other ropes tested. The bright color of the rope did eventually fade with use, which is pretty common with well used ropes.

Durability
The rope features Millet’s Triaxiale braided core technology, which is intended to increase the longevity of the rope. In tests, the rope’s sheath held up great despite repeated abuses during desert tower climbs and on sharp limestone sport routes. Additionally, the core of the rope retained its positive feel and handling characteristics.

Features

The rope has a black middle mark that was useful when setting up rappels. However with dirt and wear, the mark faded and it quickly became one of the harder middle marks for testers to find. Handling and durability are the best features of this rope.

Weight
At 62 grams per meter, the Silver Triaxiale was lighter than many other 9.8mm ropes tested.

Versatility
The Silver Triaxiale is a versatile rope that will find favor with sport climbers looking for a durable, workhorse rope for redpoint work sessions. Meanwhile, trad climbers will appreciate the balance between lightweight and toughness found in this 9.8mm rope while being resistant to dirt and abrasion thanks to the Anti-Friction treatment.
