YATES and BlueWater have joined forces to bring you the ultimate ropes for Big Wall Climbing. Through extensive design and testing we have achieved the perfect balance of strength, abrasion resistance, and dynamic load absorption.

YATES WALL ROPES will set a new standard for high energy absorption, unsurpassed abrasion resistance and minimal or no sheath slippage during ascending.


Unique 40 carrier braid construction has allowed BlueWater to construct the thickest rope sheath on the market without sacrificing handling. Most ropes today that claim to have superior abrasion resistance, such as GYM ROPES have poor handling and knotability characteristics.
Construction - 100% Nylon Sheath and Core utilizing Blue Water’s unique Duration Thermal Stabilization(DTS) method produces Dynamic ropes which yield incomparable consistency. DTS allows for complete and even penetration of heat used in the processing of yarns. What this gives you are well-balanced ropes with excellent handling and durability characteristics, coupled with light weight and high performance. BlueWater's “Double-Dry treatment” is applied to each individual fiber in sheath and core. This unique “Double-Dry treatment” which was initially developed to increases water repellency for extreme ice and alpine climbing also dramatically increase abrasion resistance. Unique 40 carrier braid technology enables us to design a rope that is lighter weight than traditional braides of simular size while having a substantially thicker rope sheath. Superior abrasion resistance is extremely important while ascending ropes during wall climbs.

FREE WALL ROPE/DOMINATOR
A perfect rope for long trad routes, sport climbing and mountaineering. Increased abrasion resistance makes this rope wear longer than any rope of its size. Unique 40 carrier braid technology enables us to design a rope that is lighter weight than traditional braides of simular size. Available in “new” 65 meter Standard or Double-Dry. Colors: Royal/Red, Yellow/Blue and new Cayote Brown/Black.

SPEED WALL ROPE/ SLIMELINE ELITE
A perfect rope for “El Cap in a day” routes. This rope is true hybrid design that couples the abrasion resistance of a true wall rope with the light weight and handling characteristics of a Sport Climbing rope. 40 carrier braid technology makes this 10.3 mm rope your next choice for any Speed wall ascent. Available in “new” 65 meter Standard or Double-Dry. Colors: Royal/Red, Yellow/Blue and new Cayote Brown/Black.

BIG WALL ROPE/ENDURO
New construction YATES 10.8mm Big Wall Rope. Basically we took the core out of the 10.3mm Speer Wall Rope and the sheath from the 11mm Big wall and put them together. This combination reduced weight while still giving the unique abrasion resistance of the Big Wall Rope. Unique 40 carrier braid technology enables us to have the thickest sheath(44%) on any dynamic rope on the market. Zero sheath slippage with low static elongation makes ascending a breeze!! Available in “new” 65 meter Standard or Double-Dry. Colors: Royal/Red, Yellow/Blue and new Cayote Brown/Black.
