Product information & specifications
FTC Argiope Evo 11.7 Climbing Rope
The FTC Argiope Evo 11.7 is a premium 11.7mm arborist climbing rope designed for both SRT and DRT systems. Developed from the original Argiope rope, it features FTC’s slim splice technology, allowing the splice to pass smoothly through popular mechanical devices such as the Petzl ZigZag, SpiderJack and Freexion.
Made from 100% polyester with a thick abrasion-resistant cover, the Argiope Evo is built for long service life, stable handling and consistent rope diameter over time. With limited elongation of 2.8%, it offers an excellent balance between static efficiency and dynamic comfort, making it a strong choice for professional climbers who want smooth device compatibility without feeling like they are climbing on wire.
Key Features
- FTC Argiope Evo 11.7mm arborist climbing rope
- Suitable for both SRT and DRT climbing systems
- 100% polyester construction for stable diameter and no swelling
- Thick cover provides excellent abrasion resistance
- Limited elongation of 2.8% for balanced static and dynamic performance
- No cover-to-core slippage
- Both ends can be spliced
- Slim splice designed to pass through mechanical devices
- Compatible with devices such as ZigZag, SpiderJack and Freexion
- Available in Argiope Evo Blue and Argiope Evo Berry
Slim Splice for Mechanical Devices
The FTC Argiope was the first rope to be sold with a splice thin enough to pass easily through mechanical climbing devices. The Argiope Evo continues this innovation with a thin, flexible slim splice designed for smooth use with devices such as the ZigZag, SpiderJack and Freexion.
100% Polyester Construction
The Argiope Evo uses a 100% polyester construction, helping maintain a constant diameter with no swelling. This makes the rope predictable, stable and consistent during day-to-day arborist climbing.
Excellent Abrasion Resistance
A thick rope cover provides strong abrasion resistance, helping extend rope lifespan during regular professional use in demanding tree climbing environments.
Balanced Elongation
With limited elongation of 2.8%, the Argiope Evo offers a practical balance between static performance and dynamic comfort. It remains efficient for ascent and positioning while still feeling comfortable in use.
SRT & DRT Ready
The FTC Argiope Evo is suitable for both Single Rope Technique and Doubled Rope Technique, making it a versatile climbing rope for modern arborist systems.
Tested in Demanding Conditions
The Argiope Evo has been tested during rainforest expeditions and by FTC field testers in Europe, with feedback confirming the same trusted qualities as the original Argiope Blue, refined further in the Evo version.
