The Tendon Master 9.7 is a great handling rope with an excellent level of durability and a soft catch. The SBS sheath is so durable, we’ve used this rope all over Indian Creek and desert towers. The Master 9.7 is one of the few ropes we offer with a bi-pattern as well (all bi-pattern ropes have complete shield with dry core and sheath) UIAA CERTIFIED: Our Tendon Master 9.7 Rope is certified by the UIAA (International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation), ensuring it meets rigorous safety standards and performance requirements for climbing equipment. All Tendon dynamic ropes are tested to check for UIAA compliance. SIMPLE BRAID SYSTEM (SBS): A process where each strand is plaited separately into the sheath construction and not in tandem. SBS braiding makes the sheath surface much more compact. Another benefit is the sheath will have a smoother feel, easier handling through belay devices, and reduces abrasion. MIDPOINT: Our Tendon Master 9.7 Rope is marked at the midpoint, allowing for easy identification and efficient rope management during climbs and when rappelling.
