Haul Line Rope - 9.5mm

A haul line is a specialized rope designed for lifting or pulling heavy loads during climbing or mountaineering. It is crucial because it can handle significant weight and stress, ensuring that your gear and supplies are safely transported without risk of breakage.

"Low stretch" refers to a rope's minimal elongation under load. This feature is essential in climbing as it reduces bounce and increases efficiency when hauling. A low stretch rope helps prevent sudden falls or accidents, providing a safer climbing experience.

Capture pulleys are designed to redirect the force of a rope, making it easier to lift heavy loads. They reduce friction, allowing the rope to move smoothly through the pulley. This efficiency means you can haul gear more effectively, saving energy and time during your climbing adventures.

Sheath mass refers to the weight of the outer protective layer of a rope. A rope with "50% sheath mass" means that half of its weight comes from this durable outer layer. A thicker sheath enhances the rope's resistance to abrasion and wear, making it a better choice for rugged climbing environments.

Tensile strength is the maximum pulling stress a material can withstand before breaking. For climbing ropes, a tensile strength of 5000 lbf means the rope can handle heavy loads without failing. Choosing a rope with high tensile strength is vital for ensuring your safety during climbing and hauling tasks.

To determine if a haul line is suitable, consider its tensile strength, low stretch properties, and sheath mass. Ensure that the rope can handle the weight of your gear and is designed for the specific type of climbing you plan to do. Always check the specifications to match your climbing requirements for optimal safety and performance.
