Teufelberger KM III is certified to EN 1891A and NFPA 2500 (1983). 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 rope
The 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.
The Teufelberger 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
