The COURANT KALIMBA is a versatile arborist rope designed for everyday work in tree canopies. It combines stable handling, low elongation, and long-term reliable performance during ascent and positioning. It uses a 24-strand construction with an X-BRAID core that retains its flexibility even with intensive use and ensures smooth handling without a noticeable bounce effect.

NEW SPLICE: New splicing technology – replaces the previous generation of COURANT KALIMBA spliced ropes.

The 11.8 mm diameter matches standard arborist equipment and ensures full compatibility with common mechanical devices and descenders. The thin spliced eye allows smooth passage through devices and makes system handling easier. High-visibility color combinations improve visibility both in the canopy and on the ground. The rope is suitable for DRT/MRS and SRT/SRS techniques.

A rope designed from practice — for practice.
