Yale XTC-24 Blue Moon
Innovative light weight arborist climbing line.
Important: The cover on most new double braid ropes will stretch during the first few weeks of use. The excess cover should be cut off. For this reason we don't recommend putting two eyes on a brand new double braid rope.
Innovative light weight arborist climbing line in 11.7mm
- Competition grade
- Smoothest cover for mechanical ascension
- Lowest elongation results in minimal bounce
- Smaller diameters are also favorable for recreational climbers
larger in the hand - same peak performance – A true 11.7mm diameter that combines the lightweight characteristics of 11mm ropes and the more conventional sizing of the 1/2" climbing lines. Blue Moon incorporates our 24-strand “Tite-Braid” cover that virtually eliminates cover milking. The braided- lament polyester core creates a firm rope that provides superior working-flex service life without work hardening.
| Diameter (mm) | Average Break Strength *(Lbs) | Suggested Design Factor 10:1 **(Lbs) | Weight (Lbs/100f) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11.7 | 6,500 | 650 | 6.5 |
* Average break strength is based on spliced rope or capstans samples. Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lower the design factor.
** Suggested design factor is based on static or moderately dynamic lifting/pulling operations. Instantaneous changes in load, up or down, in excess of 10% of the rope’s suggested design factor constitute hazardous shock load and would void the suggested design factor recommendation. The end user is responsible for choosing the correct design factor specific to their application.
