Product Description
Yale Blaze 11mm Climbing Rope – XTC-24 CE Competition Arborist Line
The Yale Blaze 11mm is a lightweight, high-performance 24-carrier arborist climbing rope engineered for competitive and production climbers who demand smooth device interaction and enhanced grip. This spliceable, double-braided construction features a 24-strand braided cover made from high-tenacity, solution-dyed yarns for maximum visibility and durability.
As part of Yale’s CE EN 1891 compliant line, Blaze utilizes a modified core construction to meet CE requirements. CE versions typically exhibit slightly higher elongation than ANSI equivalents, which can result in smoother performance in MRS (Moving Rope System) climbing. Blaze can also be used in SRS/SRT systems, particularly when canopy anchored.
