The COURANT KALIMBA is a versatile arborist rope designed for everyday use in tree canopies. It combines stable handling, low elongation, and long-term reliability for both ascent and work positioning. The rope features a 24-strand construction with an X-BRAID core, which maintains flexibility over time and ensures smooth handling without a noticeable bounce effect.

The 11.8 mm diameter matches standard arborist equipment and ensures full compatibility with common mechanical devices and descenders. Spliced terminations are temporarily unavailable pending the new splicing technology. 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.
