We wanted to offer our customers the flexibility to choose ropes they were comfortable with and already using. Therefore, we do not force a single rope for our ascenders. However, not all ropes are created equal. With that in mind, here is a list of ropes we approve of with our ascender and the characteristics that matter when selecting rope. Rope will have a big impact on how your ascender performs. We would happily test your favorite rope if you could send us some!
If you do not have one of the above-approved ropes, ensure your rope meets ALL the requirements below.
Rope Type: Static Line Rope (No Semi Static) Rope Diameter: 10mm – 13 mm Rope Elongation: Less than 2% for 10mm-11.5mm dia. rope; less than 3.3% for 11.6mm 12mm dia. Rope Sheath Construction: Kernmantle, Tech-Nora or Aramid sheath construction (Tech-Nora will have the best rope wear characteristics) Strand Count: 32 or greater (Less than 32 strands will result in increased rope wear)
If additional help is needed with your rope selection, then please contact us.
