Rope for single rope technique climbing
The climbing rope KM III from TEUFELBERGER is an outstanding static rope for single rope applications, for rappelling and for salvaging.
KM III is certified to EN 1891A and NFPA 1983:2012. It is equipped with a core of polyamide and a cover of polyester. This polyester cover is robust and ideal for ascenders since it features a very good grip. Therefore, the climber is able to move up the rope without the bounce one usually encounters on an all-polyamide climbing rope
The polyester cover is perfectly balanced with the polyamide core to limit rotation, recoil and stretch. The rope construction of the KM III with its 32-strand cover provides for an optimum cover/core ratio ensuring an extraordinarily smooth cover, higher tensile strength values and excellent handling.
Thus, the KM III from TEUFELBERBER is characterized by:
The climbing rope is available in two standard diameters and three standard colors - other diameters and colors are available on request.
