TENDON – MASTER 9.7

Everyone that climbed with this rope commented on two things. First, the bright Yellow/Black color combo, which spurred the nickname “Bee Rope.” And the supple clipping and handling of the rope. It has a great feel, not too stiff, not too floppy or kinky. It comes from the factory with a mid-mark, so until you cut an end, you’ll know where the middle is. The 9.7mm size keeps the weight low, which is nice when approaches are long, or you’re working a tall project and you want to limit rope weight.
After all the climbing and abuse that the Tendon Master 9.7 has seen the sheath has one or two nicks and that’s about it. Durability seems to be pretty high, which makes confidence in your lifeline and your ability to push the limits of your climbing even easier. The ropes from Tendon that we’ve tested are among our favorites.
