Petzl FLOW Semi-Static Climbing Ropes

Arboriculture Rope: Professional Design with Patented Splice

11.8mm technical rope with integrated splice for enhanced efficiency in tree work and compatibility with ZIGZAG devices

This specialized rope for tree care combines a medium diameter (11.8mm) with an innovative patented splice that facilitates smooth gliding through friction savers, pulleys, and branches. Its 100% polyester double braided construction with EverFlex® technology guarantees long-lasting flexibility in all conditions (water, mud, dust), while its low elongation (3%) optimizes performance during ascents. Available in two identifiable colors and multiple standard lengths with 1 or 2 splices.
