TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
TECHNICAL FEATURES OF THE KLIMB GYM ROPE
They are measured and validated in the laboratory by a certification body in accordance with standard EN 892:
Number of falls: 8
Impact force: 8.5 KN
Sheath percentage: 36.1%
Dynamic elongation: 33%
Static elongation: 4.7%
Sheath slippage: 0 mm
To define the number of falls, the standard's protocol is much stricter than reality. The fall factor used is very high: 1,77. Under normal conditions, the fall factor is much lower.
THE WEIGHT OF THE KLIMB ROPE
The weight is 66 g/m.
The weight is measured according to the EN 892 standard.
For a single rope, the rope must be exposed to 10 kg of tension for 1 minute in very precise temperature and moisture conditions.
This gives you the real weight of the rope, which is often superior to the weight given by the standard.
But the standard allows us to compare ropes objectively.
HOW IS THE KLIMB GYM ROPE DESIGNED TO CONTINUE TO PERFORM OVER TIME?
Our designers have taken great care to ensure that the Klimb Gym rope remains as fluid as possible over time, even with intensive use.
To achieve this, they constructed the core in the form of a braid. This helps it to remain flexible in the face of numerous mechanical stresses.
They have knitted around it a sheath with a smoother structure to reduce friction.
Finally, the core and sheath are drawn together using a plasma process to increase the bond between them.
KLIMB GYM ROPE HAS A MID-ROPE MARKING
To improve your safety, the Klimb Gym rope features a black mark which indicates the middle of the rope.
We always recommend checking the length of the route before climbing as well as tying a knot at the end of the rope.
POSSIBLE CHANGES TO THE LENGTH OF THE KLIMB GYM ROPE
As they get older, all climbing ropes get shorter. Usually, they get 2 to 5% shorter, but this can reach up to 10% depending on humidity, heat, impact, washing, etc. To decrease this effect, we calculate an extra margin of length when manufacturing our ropes, but sometimes this isn't enough. We nonetheless recommend that you measure your rope regularly, and check the position of its middle marking.
THE KLIMB GYM ROPE IS MADE IN FRANCE
All our ropes are designed and tested at our headquarters in Chamonix in the Mont Blanc valley.
They are made in the North of France, in our advanced partner factory Cousin in textile braiding for 170 years.
HOW TO WASH YOUR KLIMB GYM ROPE
It's important to properly care for your rope to reduce wear. Dirt ages rope.
We recommend:
1- Use a rope bag at the foot of the routes.
2- If the rope is dirty, wash it with clean, lukewarm water.
Should stains persist and you want to wash it with soap, it is important to use a pH-neutral soap (such as Marseilles/household soap) and then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
3- Air dry the rope out of the sun and away from all sources of heat.
HOW TO STORE YOUR KLIMB GYM ROPE
Ropes should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from light, humidity, and corrosive agents. Never leave ropes inside a car during summer, for example.
HOW TO INSPECT YOUR KLIMB GYM ROPE?
It is important to check your rope regularly. To do so, run the rope through your hands and inspect it metre by metre along its entire length. This will allow you to spot any nicks, cuts, abrasion or weak points. If you notice any anomalies or irregularities, if the core is visible in certain places, if the rope is deformed or has exceeded its fall rating, it must not be used.
