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.
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. Available in 25m, 35m and 45m lengths, Blue Tongue is well suited to taller trees and advanced competition-style climbing.
