High performance climbing lines with a light weight design featuring an exclusive, ultra-smooth 48-carrier cover. Ideally suited for mechanical climbing systems used in competitive tree climbing.
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.
The braid also bends more easily and with less fatiguing of the core when cycled over sheaves or dropped over a parapet. The sleeve is either white with red tracers or solution-cast fiber (color added prior to yarn production), which makes for lasting colors and enhanced wear resistance.
