ROUTE 44 - STATIC ROPES
ROUTE 44 is a unique technology invented and patented by Singing Rock. It opens new horizons for braiding of 10.5mm ropes.
The ROUTE 44 technology allows blending properties of ropes that were considered impossible before. Some features get better, none gets worse. So you get ... simply BETTER rope
What exactly does ROUTE 44 give to static ropes:
- the ropes are extremely strong for their diameter and weight (e.g. very thin and light for their tenacity)
- the sheath thickness that gives high durability and long life is constant
- optimal number of yarns in the sheath provides perfect knot ability; the rope is soft, but not "empty"
SINGING ROCK and ROUTE 44 are registered trademarks of Singing Rock. ROUTE 44 is patented technology of Singing Rock for braiding dynamic and static ropes.

THERMOTRANSFER
Thermotransfer end marking of SINGING ROCK ropes
Thermotransfer etiquette is the special plastic etiquette applied to the rope sheath by the means of heat and pressure. This marking is durable and does not create any broad forms on ends of ropes which could stack very easy anywhere, e.g. when pulling down a rope from rappel station and so on.
ULTRASONIC
An excellent way of rope ending
Our own special technology has been used for the ends of the rope. All SINGING ROCK ropes are ended by a unique technology ULTRASONIC.
It means that the load-bearing core and the protective sheath are joined
into a compact unit in the last 15 mm of the rope.
MIDDLE MARKING
At half of the length, the rope is visibly marked by colour, which does not interrupt the core structure and its mechanical properties.
