Teufelberger tachyon Pink Ash Climbing Rope

Teufelberger tachyon pink ash is the tachyon climbing rope in a pink and ash color, an 11.5 mm line built to be light and low stretch for both SRT and MRS tree climbing. It is a popular choice for climbers who want a smaller, easy-handling rope that still runs well in mechanical devices and friction hitches.

How tachyon climbs

tachyon sits at the light end of arborist climbing lines. At 11.5 mm it is noticeably lighter on a long access line than a 13 mm rope, and its low stretch means less bounce when you are ascending on a single rope. It still has enough body to tend well through a hitch or a micro pulley.

The pink and ash pattern stands out against bark and leaves, which helps a ground worker follow your line and makes it easy to pick your rope out of a pile on a multi-climber job.

Fresh rope will feel a bit firm and slick for the first few climbs. Most climbers find it settles in quickly, but give your hitch a few test runs before trusting your setup up high.

Fit, care, and inspection

Before you load it, confirm your mechanical device and hitch cord are approved for an 11.5 mm rope, and test the hitch low to the ground. Browse more 24-strand climbing ropes if you want a different diameter.

Keep it in a rope bag, out of the sun and away from saw fuel and bar oil. Inspect the full length often for cuts, glazing, and core damage, and log its use. Life-support gear must meet the applicable standard, follow ANSI Z133 and the manufacturer's instructions, and be inspected before every climb. Get trained before you rely on it.
