Courant Kalimba Bubblegum 11.9 mm Climbing Rope
A supple 11.9 mm 24-strand climbing line in a high-visibility pink colorway.
A 24-strand climbing rope uses a tighter cover braid that keeps the rope round and firm. That smooth, consistent feel is why many climbers choose 24-strand line for mechanical devices and SRS.

Buying guide
Twenty-four strand ropes tend to run smoothly through devices and resist flattening, which makes ascents and descents more predictable. Pay attention to diameter, because a few tenths of a millimeter can change how a hitch or device grips.
As with any life-support rope, check compatibility with your hitch cord and devices, inspect before every climb and follow ANSI Z133 and the manufacturer's instructions.
Common 24-strand arborist lines run from about 11.7 mm to 12.5 mm. A slightly thinner line saves weight and runs faster through devices; a slightly thicker one gives more grip and wear life. Many devices list specific diameter ranges, so start there.
Inspect before each climb for cuts, glazing, core damage and contamination, and store the rope clean and dry. Retire it when in doubt. A bright color helps the ground crew see where your line is in the canopy, which is a real safety bonus during rigging.
Neither is better for everyone. 24-strand often suits devices and SRS; 16-strand is durable and hitch-friendly for traditional climbing.
