LimeLite is a premium climbing line which has quickly become one of our most popular ropes. Its 11.7mm size is close enough to traditional 1/2&quot; lines that footlockers have no problems hanging on. At the same time the slightly smaller size works well in most popular mechanical climbing devices. Lime Lite has a smaller size, less weight (96 g/m) but all the strength to climb with confidence. It also has better knotability as the internal core become quite firm when loaded and therefore behaves similar to traditional 16-strand line. It is available in 37 and 45 m hanks&nbsp;with or without a CE marked factory spliced eye.</p> <p><a href="http://www.buxtons.net/yale-lime-lite-117mm-with-plain-end.ir">LimeLite Climbing Rope with a Plain End</a> and <a href="http://www.buxtons.net/yale-lime-lite-117mm-with-spliced-eye.ir">LimeLite Climbing Rope with an eye</a> are available exlusively from Buxtons. &nbsp;</p> Exclusive Dragon Products http://www.buxtons.net/blog/2011/12/14/great_new_products_brought_exclusively_to_you_by_buxtons.html#comments http://www.buxtons.net/blog/2011/12/14/great_new_products_brought_exclusively_to_you_by_buxtons.html Wed, 14 Dec 2011 14:25:00 GMT
