Yale XTC Plus 12.6mm - 5m Climbing Rope - 1 Splice

Yale XTC Plus 12.6mm - 5m Climbing Rope - Red / White - 1 Splice

The Yale XTC Plus 12.6mm 5m Climbing Rope is designed to meet the demanding requirements of professional arborists who need a compact, dependable rope for specific climbing and positioning tasks. Built on the proven XTC platform, this rope delivers a firm, round profile with smooth handling through devices. Supplied in a practical 5 m length, it is well suited to short systems, extensions, split tail use, and applications where a full-length climbing rope is not required.

Proven 16-strand rope construction

XTC Plus features a tight 16-strand braid made from DuPont Dacron polyester plied over Para-ep olefin. This construction is supported by a high-twist, torque-balanced polyester core that keeps the rope consistently round and stable under load. The result is predictable rope behaviour during ascent, work positioning, and descent, providing an added measure of safety during professional use.

Smooth handling and durability

The tightly braided outer cover is designed to be non-snagging and highly resistant to abrasion, supporting long service life in demanding tree care environments. The smoother cover runs efficiently through cammed devices, helping reduce drag and improve control. Excellent energy absorption characteristics contribute to a more comfortable climbing experience and controlled load management.

Compact length with certified performance

This version is supplied in a 5 m length with a professionally finished spliced eye at one end, offering a clean and compact termination that integrates smoothly with common arborist systems. The construction allows for splicing at both ends if required. The Yale XTC Plus is CE certified to EN 1891:1998 Type B, confirming its suitability for arborist climbing applications. It can be used as a climbing line or split tail, offering flexibility across different work setups.
