Climbing

Notch Acculine 2.2mm throw line is a slightly heavier throw line that is easy to grip and pull. It suits climbers who want a line that handles well with gloves and hauls a climbing line up without cutting into the hands.

When a thicker throw line makes sense

Thin throw line flies further, but it can be hard to hold and harsh on the hands when you haul a long climbing line up through the crown. At 2.2mm, Acculine gives you more to grab, tangles less, and is easier to manage with gloves on. You give up a little height on the throw for that comfort.

It is a good choice for lower crotches, frequent line setting, and crews who use the throw line to pull up rigging lines. Compare other throw lines for thinner options.

Many climbers keep a thin line for high, hard throws and a thicker one like Acculine for everyday line setting and rigging jobs.

Care and use

Store it flaked in a cube or bag, keep it clean of sap and grit, and cut out nicked or worn sections. Pair it with a throw weight heavy enough to pull the thicker line through the canopy.

Throw line is not life-support gear. Use it only to set your climbing or rigging line, and keep everyone clear of the drop zone when throwing and when pulling a bag down.

Coil and bag it after each use so it is ready for the next tree.
