Built for Demanding Use
The core advantage of the PINTAIL LITE is its exceptional durability-to-weight ratio. We designed this canyoning rope with a twisted polyester sheath static rope construction. This weave provides maximum abrasion resistant rope qualities, fending off wear from rough rock and rigging hardware. For professional operators, this means a longer service life and, most importantly, a rope that retains its suppleness and handling characteristics even after intensive use and repeated wet-dry cycles.
Lightweight, Certified Performance
This rope is engineered as an EN 1891 type B static rope. This certification ensures it meets strict European safety standards for low-stretch kernmantle ropes while allowing for a lighter, more flexible design. At only 58 g/m, this lightweight static rope significantly reduces the load for long approaches and complex trips, allowing your team to move faster and more efficiently without compromising on safety or control.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the primary use for the PINTAIL LITE 9,0 mm rope?
This is a specialist canyoning rope designed for professional and intensive recreational use. Its 9,0 mm diameter and Type B certification make it ideal for guides and experienced users who prioritize a lightweight, flexible, and durable setup. - How does the polyester sheath benefit this rope?
The twisted polyester sheath provides two key benefits: it offers superior abrasion resistance against rock and gear, and it absorbs very little water. This ensures the rope remains light, flexible, and easy to handle, resisting the stiffness that can develop in other ropes after repeated soaking. - What does “EN 1891 type B” mean?
EN 1891 is the European standard for semi-static ropes. Type B ropes are certified with slightly lower static strength and impact resistance requirements than Type A, which allows them to be lighter and smaller in diameter. They are intended for skilled users who require less bulk and weight. - Is this 9,0 mm static rope suitable for beginners?
While certified for safety, 9,0 mm ropes are generally thinner and run faster through descenders than thicker 10 mm or 10,5 mm ropes. We recommend this rope for experienced canyoneers or for guided groups under the direct supervision of a professional. - How does this rope’s visibility hold up?
The neon-yellow color was chosen specifically for high visibility. It stands out clearly against dark rock, in whitewater, and in low-light conditions, which is a critical safety feature for managing rope and clients in challenging environments.
