Description
Yale Blue Moon is a true 11.7 mm arborist climbing rope made in the USA, combining the light weight of 11 mm ropes with the more conventional sizing of 1/2 in climbing lines. Its 24-strand Tite-Braid cover virtually eliminates cover milking, where the cover bunches and slides along the core. The braided-filament polyester core makes a firm rope with a long working-flex service life, without work hardening. The smooth cover suits mechanical ascension, and low stretch means minimal bounce.
- Competition grade, made in the USA
- 24-strand Tite-Braid cover over a braided polyester core
