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 – replacing 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. A thin spliced eye allows smooth passage through devices and improves system handling. High-visibility color combinations enhance 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.
