Title: Per Foot

Vesper is an 11.8mm tree climbing line with an all polyester construction providing a low elongation rope with good friction and heat resistance.

Benefits:

  • Light weight
  • Low elongation
  • Friction resistant
  • Easy handling
  • Excellent UV resistance
  • Hi-vis colours for identification and safety
  • High strength

*Our splicing shop considers this rope NON SPLICABLE by the traditional hand splice methods for a Class I double braid splice. This rope has a 12 strand braided core which is much different from other spliceable arborist 24 strand ropes. Virtually every other 24 strand arborist climb line has a core conducive to splicing, for example, a core with 8 strands and 4 carriers each or 12 strands with 2 carriers each or something like that. Those core designs allow for the cover to be routed back into the core and allows the traditional Class I splice. This Vesper rope doesn’t allow that… so for that reason we will only do a stitch splice on this product. BE WARNED, if you are a person who splices your own rope you will have extreme difficulty if you attempt to do this rope!!

Knots & Splices

Wherever possible, use splices constructed to safe specifications. A proper splice on a rope can maintain 80% to 100% of the new rope average break strength. Trained personnel should construct all splices. If knots are used on a rope, be aware that they can reduce the rope's strength by up to 50%. If knots are required, be sure to select the proper knot for the job.

Rope Strengths

All rope has a rating referred to as a "tensile strength" or "average break strength." This number is the amount of weight that the rope should be able to hold in ideal conditions, specifically, a new rope, with no knots or splices, at room temperature. These break strength numbers are based on actual destructive break testing by the manufacturer or a certified third-party testing facility. Ropes are tested over many cycles and the average break strength is determined and specified for the product. We test our ropes personally, and all our splicers have their work tested on an ongoing basis using a certified test bed facility. This is to ensure that their splicing work is perfect, and that their splicing technique and skills are 100% within acceptable splicing guidelines set by the rope industry. Even the best splices and best rope can break if overloaded or used improperly. Make sure you thoroughly understand what you are doing with a rope. Get the right rope for the right job. If you have questions or are even remotely unsure or have doubts. STOP and get the information you need to BE SURE you are doing things safely.

Rope wear, knots, extreme hot or cold temperatures, chemicals, the manner in which the load is applied and other factors will result in a break strength lower than the stated average break strength.

A rope with a stated or advertised break strength, in pounds will not necessarily safely hold something that weighs that amount! Refer to the SAFE WORKING LOAD of a specific rope for more information.

IF IN DOUBT, ASK A PROFESSIONAL. We get calls all the time from people who have questions about what is the best rope to use for any given application. Don't be afraid to ask. Ultimately YOU are responsible for your safety using ANY rope, so don't chance it.

Working Loads

In a broad generalization, most working loads vary from 1/10 to 1/4 of the average break strength of the rope. Applications for rope used in life support or personal fall protection environments must use the 1/10 ratio.
