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.

Enviroment friendly brand
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
Basic surface treatment of dynamic ropes for higher durability and longer lifespan of TENDON ropes.
Complete Shield
Maximum rope treatment with high waterproof and abrasion resistant effect. Both the braid and the core of the rope are treated with the ECO variant of the PFC-free impregnation, which creates an almost impermeable protective layer on the entire rope against water, dust and other particles.
Tendon electronic note system (TeNOTE)
Rope marking system by means of a microchip.
SBS - Simple Braid System
Simple braiding guaranees pleasant handling, smoother passage of the rope a through the belay devices.
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
Patented TeFIX® technology ensures a permanent bond between the core and the braid. This is achieved by using special materials which, by a further technological process, ensure a permanent bond between the core and the braid.
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.
