Yale Blue 32 11.5mm Climbing Rope
Yale Blue 32 is an 11.5mm arborist climbing rope designed to deliver superior performance across a range of climbing systems. Its 32 carrier construction ensures smooth handling, whether using mechanical systems or traditional hitch cord climbing. This rope offers a static, low-bounce yet flexible feel, while the durable 32-strand cover and braided polyester core offer long-lasting durability. Blue 32 is offered with a patent pending full strength, low-profile splice that allows the rope’s spliced end to easily fit through common climbing hardware. Blue 32 is versatile and reliable for both SRS (Single Rope System) and MRS (Moving Rope System) climbing.
- Please Note: a Sewn Splice is not low profile

Best hybrid rope
This rope works well for moving rope and stationary rope systems as well as lanyard setups. Durable and consistent. The blue color is different than other blue lines.
It’s Electric!
Premium cover! Of all of the other static ropes I’ve spliced this has the densest cover, its very robust and handles the abrasions of tree work better than any other static rope I’ve climbed on. I prefer this rope in hitch based systems. I can’t say it’s perfect with mechanicals until you break it in real nice. Like any other double braid rope it will flatten in mechanicals until you get it fuzzed in a bit on hitch systems. Incredibly static, firm but still knots well. I love it!
