Eco rope
ECO Shield
The new ECO rope protection against impregnation, guarantees high water-repellent rope protection. The core and sheath are treated with a new method of PFC-free ECO impregnation, which forms a water-repellent layer. Rope with this protection does not absorb water and is environmentally friendly because it does not contain fluorinated hydrocarbons C8 or C6. Our PFC-free rope meets the UIAA water repellent standard.

Hand made product
Single ropes
For ascent where only one rope is used. This is the most basic and widely used method of using rope for ascents.
Recycled product
TeNOTE
Clear and efficient online tool designed for rope management and record keeping of the condition of static ropes using a built-in microchip. The app can be downloaded in Google play or is available in the web interface.

Half ropes
Separate ropes are anchored in alternating belaying points. This system reduces the risk of rope breakage by falling rocks and provides maximum protection in alpine conditions or on tough climbs.
Twin ropes
The same ropes are always used in pairs, secured at common belaying points. Twin ropes guarantee a high level of safety, especially for classic alpine climbing.
Standard
Improved basic finishing of dynamic ropes. The new technological process enables the application of impregnation agents early in the standard finishing of the ropes.
Complete Shield
Maximum level of rope protection against water and abrasion. It is reached by using the new progressive NANOTECHNOLOGY method. Tiny particles of TEFLON®Eco are applied to the rope sheath and core and make a film of almost impermeable protective layer. The rope fibres are then protected against dust and water which would othervise cause a harm to the rope construction. COMPLETE SHIELD is an impregnation which extends the general lifespan of TENDON ropes significantly. All ropes with the Complete Shield finish meet the UIAA 101 requirement for water repellent test.
Tendon electronic note system (TeNOTE)
Rope marking system by means of a microchip.
SBS - Simple Braid System
SBS – is system where each strand is plaited separatelly into the sheath construction and not in pair (tandem). SBS braiding makes the sheath surface much more compact and smoother. Therefore ropes made by SBS generate much lower friction, are more resistant to abrasion and last longer while in contact with rocks.
Compact
Our own special technology has been used for the ends of the rope. In a length of 15 mm, the core strand and sheath are connected into one unit.
Midpoint of rope
At half of the length, the rope is visibly marked by coloured band, which does not affect the core structure and its mechanical properties. Lengths 30 - 80 m only.
Lowe
Thanks to the unique combination of materials which work together jointly and meet the stringent requirements of the EN 892 standard, we were able to reduce the weight while retaining a diameter acceptable to all climbers.
Tefix
The TeFIX® patented technology permanently bonds the sheath to the core. It prevents from any slippage between these two basic rope parts. This particular feature was reached by adding a special material between core and sheath. This extra material is later also processed so that the bond is flexible and strong. The rope has a 0% sheath slippage, much longer lifespan, and better handling.
Bicolour
A new, clearly identifiable change of rope pattern in the middle. Bicolour brings comfort in rope handling and is advantageous especially for descending. The change of pattern is practical also when climbing with half ropes and contributes to improvement of ropework as well as to safety in general.
CE - symbol of compliance
This symbol confirms that the product meets safety requirements specified in the relevant Europen regulations. The number following symbol (e.g. CE1019) is number of notified body which performs checking of production: VVUÚ, a.s., Pikartská 1337/7, 71607 Ostrava- Radvanice, Czech Republic.
UIAA
Products marked with this symbol meet UIAA requirements.The UIAA is the International Mountaineering and Climbing Federation.
Secure
Rope with a zero sheath slippage is made with utilization of the unique patented technology named Secure. Thanks to the unique sandwichtype construction of braided layers and the use of specially finished fibres, the rope is safe even in case of a heavily damaged sheath.
EN 1891
This European norm establishes safety requirements and testing procedures for static ropes at European Union accredited laboratories. Products labeled with the symbol of this European norm satisfy the given safety requirements.
EN 892
This European norm establishes safety requirements and testing procedures for dynamic climbing ropes at European Union accredited laboratories. Products labelled with the symbol of this European norm satisfy the given safety requirements.
NFPA
