Product information & specifications
Marlow Vega Climbing Rope 11.7mm
The Marlow Vega 11.7mm is a high-performance UKCA and CE EN1891 climbing rope designed for professional arborists using modern SRT and mechanical climbing devices. One of the lowest elongation values on the market — 1.2% — significantly reduces bounce, fatigue and energy loss during ascent, making it well suited to long climbs and advanced work positioning techniques.
Available in Grey & Orange and Grey & Green, 35m and 45m, it's in stock at Gustharts as an authorised Marlow dealer, with free UK delivery on this order.
A tough braided polyester core delivers excellent stability under load, while the 24-plait jacket provides the flexibility and handling needed for efficient rope-based movement. Exceptional durability, high UV resistance and dependable performance in all weather conditions make Vega a strong choice for climbers who need a lightweight, fast-running line compatible with the latest mechanical devices.
Key Features & Benefits
- 1.2% elongation — very low, for reduced bounce and faster climbing
- Fully compatible with modern mechanical climbing devices
- Lightweight 11.7mm construction ideal for SRT and advanced positioning
- High-visibility colourways for safe identification aloft
- Excellent UV resistance and outstanding handling
- Durable 24-plait jacket for smooth movement and long service life
