Our Glider ropes have been described by Chris Linder as

feeling like a “snake dipped in butter“ when running through

protection. Gilder™ features Twill Pattern Technology™ (TPT),

a unique twill sheath design. TPT results in a smoother cover

that flies through protection by reducing drag. What really

separates the Glider design from other climbing ropes is the

supple feel and hand. Glider is available in four diameters and

11 colors including four bi-patterns as well as the Digi-Camo

designed for the United States Military.

EQUINOX

Equinox is the best value in a

high quality rope. We minimize

manufacturing costs by

incorporating more white yarns

in the sheath construction,

which reduces expensive yarn

dying processes. The durable Equinox features an Endura Dry treated

core and is made to the same high standards as our Apex series.

With its excellent knotability, ease of clipping, and slim 10.2mm

diameter, the versatile Equinox is ideal for sport climbing or multi-pitch

routes.

Pinnacle is a lightweight 9.5mm

rope designed to meet the needs of

today’s sport climber. It’s light

enough for redpointing, but still has

the legendary durability for which

New England Ropes is known.

Pinnacle is also an option for the trad climber who wants to climb

longer pitches without adding weight or sacrificing durability and

abrasion resistance. All Pinnacle ropes have a Endura Dry-treated

core 3 versions feature a 2X Dry cover, making Pinnacle a good

choice for a lightweight single ice rope as well.

Chalk Line Str8 Jacket Core was specifically developed for the extreme

punishment gyms inflict on rope. Whether you have a small gym or big

gym the Chalk Line can take the constant falls, and belays. The Str8

Jacket Core allows the Chalk Line to hold its shape and keep the cover

and core in balance which virtually eliminates Sheath Slippage. This will

reduce flat spots and help maintain the performance of the over all rope.

The Chalk Line will provide a safe easy belay through a variety of devices

while still maintaining its shape.

GYM ROPESPERFORMANCE TESTED

KM-III™KM-III is an exceptional static rope for rappelling, caving, rescue, fixed-rope

applications, hauling, and life-safety applications. Our unique polyester

sheath differentiates KM-III from other static ropes. The polyester sheath is

balanced with a nylon core to limit rotation, bouncing, and stretch with ex-

ceptional UV resistance. KM-III is NFPA and CE approved, and comes with

an NFPA certification tag and CE labels. This is one of the most durable

static ropes available, with the handling and knotability you expect from

New England Ropes. The sheath is braided with 32 bobbins to provide

optimum sheath/core ratio. This allows for an incredibly smooth sheath,

higher tensile strengths, and superior handling characteristics. The 9mm

(3/8”) diameter is the perfect haul line for easy handling and control to pull

your gear up big walls without rotation.

Tech Cord is an extremely strong cord and extremely abrasion resistant that is perfect for cordelette. The

polyester sheath surrounds a parallel fiber core of 100% Technora, resulting in a cord that gets extremely

high tensile strength (3,000 pound tensile for 3mm; 5,000 pound tensile for 5mm). Tech Cord is perfect for

balancing anchors and slinging chocks and hexes, and can be used as an emergency rap line. The

reported tensile strength of Tech Cord, as with any rope, can be significantly reduced when used with a

knot. The most recommended knot for this cord is a double fishermans. Available in two diameters in

ACCESSORIESSMALL THINGS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Designed in collaboration with the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Center and for the

U.S. Military Special Forces, the Micro Rappel™ system is a compact, lightweight two-mode system that

converts from a belt to a harness in seconds. The system includes the rappel harness/belt, descender,

two carabiners, deployment bag, usage log, instruction sheet, and 82 feet of 5mm Tech Cord with chafe

guard. The leg straps for the harness are stowed in the belt. To deploy, the user pulls the leg loop out of

the side pouches in the belt, pulls them down the front, in-between the legs, around the back of the leg,

and back up. The leg loops and belay loop are then connected with a carabiner (included). The attached

deployment bag holds the rope, carabiners, and descent device. The Micro Rappel kit provides a quick

means of escape from any potentially volatile situation and requires special instruction and training.

Rope Care. We take great care in manufacturing the highest-quality rope. A few guidelines about its use will help you increase the life of the rope and assist you in achieving the best performance using our products.

> Abrasion and Sharp Edges

Abrasion and sharp edges are a rope’s worst enemies. Check all

equipment prior to use to make sure there are no burrs or sharp edges.

Always inspect ropes after climbing in abrasive environments to assess

damage from wear.

> Cleaning

Dirt can penetrate a rope resulting in abrasion. To clean your rope, wash

it with fresh water and air-dry out of direct sunlight. For a more thorough

cleaning, soak your ropes in warm water with a rope cleaning agent.

When possible, use a front-loading washer; otherwise, wash your rope

in a mesh bag or pillowcase to avoid tangling. Rinse thoroughly and then

hang up to dry out of direct sunlight.

> Eliminating Twist

Twist increases the likelihood of kinking and jamming in equipment.

Severe twist can cause the rope to get out of round, resulting in higher

wear rates and reduced strength. Eliminating twist from a rope makes

the rope easier to handle and increases its life. Eliminate twist by

uncoiling properly and laying the rope out straight and dragging it while

the loose end is left free to unwind. Coiling in figure eights or stuffing in a

rope bag will prevent twist in a rope during storage.

> Safety

Chemicals: Synthetic fibers have good chemical resistance. However,

exposure to harsh chemicals, such as acids and alkalis, should be

avoided.

Damage: Inspect all ropes before every use for signs of wear or

damage. Retire any rope that is cut or abraded.

Sunlight: With time, all synthetic fibers will undergo degradation when

exposed to sunlight.

> TPT Technology

Twill Pattern Technology (TPT) is a special cover deisgn resulting

in a twill pattern (over two, under one) or weave. This design

results in a cover/shealth that has a smaller profile in cross-

section than plain pattern sheaths - the more traditional-looking

climbing rope cover/sheath. For the climber, this means

improved abrasion resistance over abrasive surfaces due to

the smaller profile, as well as significantly reduced drag in

carabiners and machanical devices.

> Bi-Pattern

Bi-Pattern ropes change pattern at their midpoint to permanently

mark the center of the rope in a way that is easily visible to the

climber. Unlike bi-color ropes, the midpoint of a Bi-Pattern rope

is the result of a change in pattern by repositioning the bobbins

on the braider during the manufactering process. No fibers are

cut, tied or spliced during this process. Bi-Patterns are a safer

alternative to marking the midpoint because there is no danger

of fiber quality becoming compromised by pigments or other

chemicals in commerically available markers and pens.

> Endura Dry and 2X Dry

Endura Dry is a mult-stage application process. For standard

dry ropes, the coating is applied to the individual core yarns

prior to the braiding process. All New England Ropes have dry-

treated cores surrounded by a durable, protective nylon sheath

to lock in the water-blocking power of the coating. Select

models of New England Ropes are 2X Dry (have a dry treated

core and cover) - ropes treated a second time by submerging the

finsihed rope in our proprietary dry coating. We then cure the

finished product using an environmentally controlled process,

creating a chemical bond between coating and fibers. Endura

Dry does more than keeps water out of your rope. The coating

also lubricates individual core fibers, improving resistance to

internal abrasion that can occur benealth the surface where you

cannot see it.
