The Teufelberger Xstatic is the definitive SRT (single rope technique) arborist climbing rope. Its special kernmantle construction — 32-strand polyester cover over a polyamide (nylon) core — delivers minimal elongation (1.4%) for precise, responsive positioning and effortless retrieval even with multiple redirects. Equally at home as an SRT access line or work positioning line, the Xstatic has been successfully tested with all common hardware by experienced tree climbers worldwide. Available in 150 ft, 200 ft, and 600 ft lengths.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Xstatic considered the ideal SRT rope?
The Xstatic's 1.4% elongation is among the lowest of any arborist climbing rope, making it exceptionally responsive for SRT ascent and work positioning. Less stretch means more direct feedback and less energy wasted on rope bounce.
Can the Xstatic be used for MRS (double rope technique)?
Yes — while the Xstatic excels as an SRT line, its construction also performs well in MRS applications. It has been tested with all common hardware by experienced climbers worldwide.
What certifications does the Xstatic carry?
The Xstatic is certified to EN 1891A (European low-stretch kernmantle rope standard) and ANSI Z133 (US arborist safety standard).
Is the eye termination available on the 600 ft length?
No — the sewn tight eye option is only available on the 150 ft and 200 ft lengths. The 600 ft bulk spool ships without eye termination.
