Yale XTC Blue Tongue 11.7mm 5m Climbing Rope - 1 Splice

Yale XTC Blue Tongue 11.7mm 5m Climbing Rope – Yellow / Red / Blue – 1 Splice

The Yale XTC Blue Tongue 11.7mm 5m Climbing Rope is a professional arborist line developed for consistent performance with mechanical ascent and descent devices as well as traditional climbing techniques. Manufactured from premium-grade polyester in a 24-strand construction, it delivers smooth handling, dependable durability, and predictable control during climbing operations. Supplied in a compact 5 m length, this version is ideal for specialised setups, short system extensions, and applications where a full-length rope is not required.

Optimised diameter for confident handling

The 11.7 mm diameter offers a practical balance between the reduced weight of thinner lines and the familiar feel of thicker ropes. This size supports confident grip and smooth interaction with common arborist hardware. In a 5 m configuration, the rope remains easy to manage and transport while retaining the same handling characteristics associated with the XTC Blue Tongue range.

Durable 24-strand polyester construction

Constructed using high-quality polyester fibres, the 24-strand design provides excellent abrasion resistance and long-term stability under professional use. Polyester construction helps maintain a consistent diameter over time and supports reliable performance through mechanical devices. The rope is equally effective for traditional doubled rope techniques, offering versatility across different climbing methods.

High visibility and certified performance

The highly vibrant yellow, red, and blue colour pattern improves visibility in the canopy, assisting with rope management during complex tree work. This rope is supplied with a professionally finished UK spliced eye, providing a compact and clean termination. It is CE certified to BS EN 1891:1998 Type B, confirming suitability for arborist climbing applications requiring controlled elongation and dependable strength.
