Teufelberger KMtree Static Climbing Rope (Purple/Green)

Teufelberger KMtree is a static kernmantle climbing rope for tree work, here in a purple and green colorway. Low stretch makes it efficient for stationary-rope ascents and gives mechanical devices a consistent rope to work on.

Where a static kernmantle rope shines

In a stationary rope system, stretch is wasted effort: every bounce at the start of an ascent is energy you do not get back. A static kernmantle line keeps that to a minimum, so footlocking, rope walking, and ascending with a chest ascender feel direct. It also gives SRS devices a consistent diameter and firm cover to grip.

The same rope works for moving-rope climbing with a compatible hitch. See our other static climbing ropes if you want to compare handling and diameter.

Bright colors also make it easier for the ground crew to tell the climbing line apart from rigging lines, which matters when the drop zone gets busy.

Pairing and inspection

Check that your devices, hitch cord, and ascenders are rated for this rope's diameter before you climb on it. Static rope can feel stiff at first; it usually softens with use.

Before every climb run the whole rope through your hands, feeling for cuts, glazing, soft or flat spots, and cover damage. Keep it away from saws, chemicals, and fuel, and store it in a rope bag out of sunlight. Treat it as life-support equipment: it must meet ANSI Z133 and the manufacturer's instructions, be inspected before every climb, and be used only by trained climbers.
