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

Yale XTC Plus 12.6mm Climbing Rope – Red / White – 1 Splice

The Yale XTC Plus 12.6mm Climbing Rope is engineered for the demanding requirements of professional arborists who need a reliable, durable line for daily climbing and positioning work. Built on the proven XTC platform, this rope combines a firm, round profile with smooth handling through devices, making it suitable for both modern mechanical systems and traditional arborist techniques. The red and white colour pattern offers clear visibility while maintaining a classic, professional appearance.

Robust 16-strand rope construction

XTC Plus uses a tight 16-strand braid constructed from DuPont Dacron polyester plied over a Para-ep olefin component. A high-twist, torque-balanced polyester core keeps the rope firm and consistently round under load. This construction provides an added measure of safety by maintaining predictable rope behaviour during ascent, work positioning, and descent, even during extended periods of use.

Handling, durability, and energy absorption

The tight cover braid is designed to be non-snagging and highly resistant to abrasion, supporting long service life in demanding tree work environments. The smoother outer cover runs efficiently through cammed devices, helping reduce drag and improve control. The rope also offers effective energy absorption characteristics, contributing to a more comfortable climbing experience and controlled load management.

Versatile applications and certified performance

This rope is supplied with a professionally finished spliced eye at one end, providing 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 as a split tail, offering versatility across different work setups.
