KM III is certified to EN 1891A and NFPA 2500 (1983). It is equipped with a core of polyamide and a cover of polyester. This polyester cover is robust and ideal for ascenders since it features a very good grip. Therefore, the climber is able to move up the rope without the bounce one usually encounters on an all-polyamide climbing rope

The polyester cover is perfectly balanced with the polyamide core to limit rotation, recoil and stretch. The rope construction of the KM III with its 32-strand cover provides for an optimum cover/core ratio ensuring an extraordinarily smooth cover, higher tensile strength values and excellent handling.
