Yale XTC Calamine 11.7mm Climbing Rope - Pink / Purple - 1 Splice

Yale XTC Calamine 11.7mm Climbing Rope – Pink / Purple – 1 Splice

The Yale XTC Calamine 11.7mm Climbing Rope is a professional arborist climbing line developed to deliver reliable performance with both modern mechanical devices and traditional climbing techniques. Manufactured from premium-grade polyester in a 24-strand construction, XTC-24 represents a significant step forward in tree climbing rope design. The striking pink and purple colourway offers excellent visibility in the canopy, helping climbers manage rope paths clearly during complex tree work.

Balanced diameter for device compatibility

With an 11.7 mm diameter, the XTC Calamine provides an effective balance between the lighter feel of 11 mm ropes and the familiar handling of thicker 12.6 mm lines. This diameter supports smooth, predictable interaction with mechanical ascent and descent devices while maintaining a confident grip for traditional doubled rope techniques. The rope weight of 2.95 kg per 30.5 m reflects its durable construction without unnecessary bulk.

Durable 24-strand polyester construction

Constructed entirely from polyester fibres, the 24-strand design delivers strong abrasion resistance and long-term dimensional stability. Polyester construction helps prevent excessive swelling and supports consistent performance over time. The rope has a controlled elongation of 1.8 percent at 245 kg, providing a stable feel during climbing while avoiding the harshness of overly static lines. The polyester material has a melting point of 232 °C, supporting resilience in demanding working environments.

Spliced eye and certified performance

This rope is supplied with a professionally finished UK spliced eye, offering a compact and clean termination that integrates smoothly with common arborist hardware and climbing systems. The splice supports efficient system setup while maintaining smooth passage through compatible devices. The XTC Calamine is CE certified to BS EN 1891:1998 Type B, confirming its suitability for arborist climbing applications where controlled elongation and dependable strength are required.
