Product Description
Yale XTC-12 Climbing Rope – 1/2" 12-Strand Hollow Braid Arborist Line
The Yale XTC-12 Climbing Rope is a commercial-grade 12-strand hollow braid engineered for durability, lightweight handling, and excellent abrasion resistance. Designed to be round and stay round, XTC-12 features a coreless single-braid construction made from polyester / Para-ep olefin fibers.
Its distinctive “nubby” texture provides a firm hand and superior grip, making it easy to handle — even while wearing gloves. Built for dependable performance in both wet and dry conditions, XTC-12 is an economical and reliable choice for traditional arborist climbing systems.
