A Samson climbing line in the HyperClimb range, in a cool-toned color.
Samson HyperClimb Cool is a climbing line from Samson's HyperClimb range, in a cool-toned colorway that is easy to track in the canopy. It is built for modern tree climbing on mechanical devices and friction hitches.
Samson designs its HyperClimb lines for climbers who move between stationary rope systems and doubled-rope climbing. A firm, consistent cover helps mechanical devices and rope wrenches run smoothly, while still holding a friction hitch.
Before you buy, check Samson's spec sheet for the exact diameter and strength, and confirm the line is on your SRS device's approved rope list. The cool colorway helps separate your climbing line from rigging rope on a busy job.
Whatever line you choose, set it up the same way every time: a clean termination, a hitch or device you have tested on that rope, and a stopper knot in the tail. Consistency is what makes a rope feel predictable at height, and it makes problems easier to spot.
Pick a length that covers twice the height of your typical tie-in for MRS, or the full height plus tail for SRS. Compare similar lines in 24-strand climbing rope.
Keep the rope in a bag, away from fuel, bar oil, and sunlight, and run it through your hands before each climb looking for cuts, glazing, and flat or stiff spots. Life-support gear must meet the applicable standard (ANSI Z133 and the manufacturer's instructions), be inspected before every use, and be used only by trained climbers.

The colorway is the obvious difference. Confirm diameter and construction on Samson's spec sheet for the specific rope you buy.
Many climbers do, but check the wrench and rope makers' compatibility guidance first.
