XTC - 24 Strand

• Competition Grade
• Smoothest Cover for mechanical ascension
• Lowest elongation results in minimal bounce
• Smaller diameters are also favorable for recreational climbers

11mm – Blaze – innovative lightweight – a unique 11mm splicable double braided rope construction boasting a smooth 24-strand braided cover of high tenacity solution dyed yarns with ultimate visibility. The Blaze is rated for 5,600 pounds, runs well in mechanical devices. Blaze also meets CE-EN1891 Type-B

11.7mm - Blue Moon – larger in the hand - same peak performance – A true 11.7mm diameter that combines the lightweight characteristics of 11mm ropes and the more conventional sizing of the ½” climbing lines. Blue Moon incorporates our 24 strand “Tite-Braid” cover that virtually eliminates cover milking. The braided filament polyester core creates a firm rope that provides superior working-flex service life without work hardening.

Now introducing XTC IMORI (eee-mor-lee), meaning “Good Forest” in Japanese. Yale Cordage has incorporated a new type of taslanized (textured) fiber into the rope structure which provides bulk, and therefore an enhanced grip for better ergonomics. This fiber is blended with a 100% solution dyed filament polyester into the construction. This unique blend allows the fibers to be exposed on both the outer sheath and also on the inside of the sheath providing more friction to the inner core which helps to minimize excessive elongation while providing superior unsurpassed grip for the climber.
