Product information & specifications
YALE Blue Tongue Climbing Rope 11.7mm
The YALE Blue Tongue 11.7mm is a competition-grade arborist climbing rope designed for professional tree climbers who want a lightweight, high-performance line for modern double rope (MRS/DRT) techniques. With a 24-carrier construction and modified core, it is fully CE0598 EN 1891 Type A compliant, offering the ideal balance of firm handling, durability and controlled elongation.
Available in 25m, 35m and 45m lengths (each with one eye splice).
Compared with ANSI variants, the CE construction of Blue Tongue delivers slightly higher elongation, which translates into smoother performance in moving rope systems and improved comfort on long climbs. It can also be used in SRS (stationary rope systems), particularly when canopy anchored, where the rope's characteristics support efficient ascent and work positioning.
The 11.7mm diameter offers enhanced grip and ergonomics without feeling bulky in the hand, making it a popular choice for climbers who use mechanical devices or traditional friction hitches. Blue Tongue is well suited to taller trees and advanced competition-style climbing.
Key Features & Benefits
- Competition-grade 11.7mm arborist climbing rope
- CE0598 EN 1891 Type A compliant for professional use
- Optimised elongation for smoother performance in MRS systems
- Compatible with SRS when canopy anchored
- 24-carrier construction for a durable, high-grip sheath
- Lightweight handling ideal for taller trees and long days in the canopy
- Works well with modern friction hitches and popular mechanical devices
Technical Details
Why Choose the YALE Blue Tongue?
Yale Cordage is a long-established American rope manufacturer with deep roots in professional arborist and rigging equipment, and the Blue Tongue's CE-specific construction is tuned specifically for European MRS/DRT climbing rather than being a re-badged ANSI product — the slightly higher elongation genuinely smooths out moving-rope-system performance and reduces fatigue on long climbing days.
Pairs Well With
Pair with a certified climbing harness and a mechanical Prusik or friction hitch device to complete your climbing system.
