    TEUFELBERGER’s Tech Cord is an exceptionally strong and very abrasion resistant cord that is perfect for pre-tied cordelettes. The tightly woven polyester sheath surrounds a parallel fiber core made up of 100 % Technora®, resulting in a cord that has extremely high tensile strength (3,000 pound tensile for 3mm; 4,700 pound tensile for 5mm). Tech Cord is a perfect anchor rope for balancing anchors or top rope anchors as well as slinging chocks and hexes. In addition, Tech cord is also used as a zip line brake. This cord was originally designed in conjunction with the US Military as an emergency rappel and bailout cord. It is still used in those applications today. The reported tensile strength of Tech Cord, as with any rope, can be significantly reduced when used with a knot. This is especially applicable to Technora® The most recommended knot for this cord is a double fisherman’s. Tech cord is available in 2 diameters and in 4 colors (3mm available in black only). Made in the USA! These cords are proudly made by expert crafts men and women in our US facility located in Fall River, Massachusetts.

    About MAXIM Dynamic Ropes

    Dynamic climbing ropes are the most important piece of gear you have, because they keep you from hitting the ground. Their high elongation absorbs most of the shock in a fall, thereby taking the load off of your body and your anchors. MAXIM ropes are made of 100% high quality nylon and feature a kernmantle construction with twisted nylon cores and a braided nylon cover. MAXIM’s long lasting dynamic climbing lines are designed as a compact rope with high-energy absorption. Each of our dynamic climbing lines offers excellent handling, superior abrasion resistance and high durability.

    Special features of MAXIM dynamic ropes

    The core of every dynamic MAXIM Climbing rope is dry treated with our special Endura DRY treatment process, including our indoor gym ropes. This is for the ultimate level of safety protection since nylon loses a lot of strength when wet. In addition, for maximum water-repellency, selected models also feature Endura 2x-DRY and have both a dry core and a specially treated dry cover. Those ropes fulfill the requirements of UIAA water-repellency.

    Our Pinnacle and Glider series also feature MAXIM’s TPT (Twill Pattern Technology) which aligns the sheath yarns with the direction the rope moves through your protection. This dramatically reduces rope drag and provides for buttery rappels.

    The Chalk Line gym ropes also feature our Str8 Jacket technology, in which we tightly weave the sheath around a mid-sheath which grips the core. These are the longest lasting gym ropes on the planet.

    Standards for dynamic climbing ropes

    Dynamic climbing ropes are generally certified in three categories; single ropes, half ropes and twin ropes. All of them are certified to the European Standard EN 892 and the international standard UIAA 101. Within these standards, the rope’s construction, sheath slippage, static and dynamic elongation, maximum impact force at first fall as well as the minimum number of falls a rope has to withstand are regulated. Please find more information on climbing rope types and requirements of the standards in our Tech info section.

    "MAXIM sets the standard for durability of climbing ropes in the industry. In the end, a rope is our lifeline, and for many years now I've felt 100% confident trusting my life to thee amazing cords. "
