Response Arbor is built specifically for tree climbers and rope access professionals who need durability and control. The rope uses a braid-on-braid construction with a nylon core and a tightly woven high-tenacity polyester sheath. This design provides low stretch and superior grip, so prusik and mechanical hitches hold firmly without slipping. The rope remains lightweight and flexible, making it easy to handle and coil.

With Response Arbor, climbers can trust their line to perform consistently from root to canopy.
