Our KM III is certified to EN 1891A and NFPA 1983:2012. It is equipped with a core of polyamide and a cover of polyester. This polyester cover is robust and ideal for ascenders since it features a very good grip. Therefore, the climber is able to move up the rope without the bounce one usually encounters on an all-polyamide climbing ropeThe polyester cover is perfectly balanced with the polyamide core to limit rotation, recoil and stretch. The rope construction of the KM III with its 32-strand cover provides for an optimum cover/core ratio ensuring an extraordinarily smooth cover, higher tensile strength values and excellent handling.Thus, the KM III is characterized by:

• Optimum cover/core ratio
• Balanced and torque free rope construction
• Excellent handling and outstanding knot holding ability
• High abrasion resistance
• Excellent UV protection
