Featured Arborist Ropes for Climbing, Rigging & Tree Care
Yale Cordage delivers engineered arborist rope solutions designed for climbing, rigging, and demanding tree care applications trusted by professionals.
Blue 32
Blue 32 Our range of 32-carrier products are ideally suited for MRS or SRS climbing with compatible hardware or hitch tending climbing systems.
Blue Moon
Blue Moon. Our range of 24-carrier products is ideally suited for MRS or SRS climbing with compatible hardware or hitch tending climbing systems.
Blaze
Sunburst, Calamine, IMORI, Blaze, Bandit, Blue Tongue, & Energize. Our 24-carrier CE climbing lines feature modified core constructions to achieve CE EN 1891 compliance. This means CE products will have slightly more elongation than the ANSI equivalent. With their higher elongation characteristics our CE products perform slightly better in MRS Climbing systems. Though they can be used in SRS climbing systems especially when canopy anchored.
Confetti Legacy
Confetti® Legacy 32 is an arborist climbing rope engineered to deliver the same trusted performance as Blue-32, now presented in a vibrant, multi-color design created in honor of Jamie Goddard, who spent nearly 20 years at Yale Cordage shaping the ropes that arborists rely on today.
Fire, Spearmint, & Plus
Fire, Spearmint, Plus, & White. A true workhouse climbing line. This offers many of the same characteristics as XTC-12 but with a firmer construction and energy absorbing twisted polyester core, making XTC-16 one of the most durable climbing lines.
Kernmaster Explore
XTC-48 Kernmaster is a static-rappelling line constructed with a traditional “mantle” sleeve consisting of 48 strands of polyester. The inside, or “kern,” is a braided core of energy-absorbing nylon. The core is fully steam-stabilized to enhance the rope’s flexibility and prevent hardening in service.
