Yellow Polyethylene Throw Line

This yellow polyethylene throw line is an affordable, high-visibility line for setting climbing and rigging lines. The bright color is easy to track in the canopy and on the ground, and polyethylene is light and slick.

A practical everyday line

Not every job needs premium throw line. For crews who lose or cut a lot of line, an affordable polyethylene line in high-visibility yellow does the job, and the color makes it easy to see where the shot landed and to pick it back out of brush.

Pair it with a throw weight and a cube or bag. More options are in throw line.

It is also a good line for training new climbers on throwing technique, where a few lost shots and snagged lines are part of the learning curve.

Care and safe use

Polyethylene can be springier than coated premium lines, so flake it carefully into the cube to avoid tangles. Replace sections that are cut, melted from friction or heavily abraded.

Throw line is never life support. Use it only to install climbing and rigging lines, clear the drop zone before throwing, keep away from power lines, and inspect your tie-in point before climbing as required by ANSI Z133.

When a line hangs up, don't yank it hard or climb to free it on the throw line. Try working it from a different angle, or cut it and set a fresh line.

Store the cube somewhere dry and out of direct sun, since UV slowly weakens polyethylene. A line that has gone chalky or stiff is due for replacement.
