Expert Tree Care
XTC-12 is an affordable entry-level climbing line for the arborist industry that is suitable for MRS climbing technique.
XTC-12
XTC-12 is a “nubbier” hollow braid offering lower weight and excellent abrasion resistance. Built to be round and stay round, XTC-12 is a 12-strand single braid of polyester/”Para-ep” Olefin.
Key Features
- Commercial grade
- Single braid construction eliminates the core
- Excellent hand “feel” with its nubby & firm construction
- Easy to handle even with gloves due to large diameter
This all-synthetic rope resists rot and mildew, and performs equally well in both wet and dry conditions. XTC-12 is a commercial-grade single-braid construction that eliminates the core and adds nubby construction for hand climbers. It is an economical choice for a range of climbing needs.
XTC-12 is available in 100% orange solution dyed polyester (Buzzzline Orange), Solid White, white code yellow, and white with yellow tracers. Buzzzline Orange and Solid White are in CE EN 1891 compliance. This means CE products will have slightly more elongation than the ANSI equivalent.
The strand is laid, much like our 16-strand products, which are to maximize abrasion resistance. The braid is tight to prevent snagging but supple enough to make handling and throwing a snap. All polyester maximizes the tensile strength, while offering an enhanced ability to absorb shock over our other 12-stranded products.
