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.

Our Polyester Accessory Cord offers the best of both worlds. Polyester resists water, has less stretch,
has super vibrant colors, and has greater UV resistance. Polyester is also more durable than nylon and its
lower stretch offers more abrasion resistance. The Polyester Accessory Cord carries UIAA 102 and EN 564
certification.

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.
