Imlay Canyon Rope 8mm
Imlay Canyon Rope 8mm
Imlay Canyon Rope 8mm is firmly woven for longest life, and uses 100% polyester to minimize water absorption. A nice handling static rope that works great for canyoneering. This is our lightest rope, intended for those times when lightness and economy are important and durability is not. It is not intended as an every-day rope.
The Canyon Fire rope is roughly 10% heavier and costlier, and at least twice as durable.
8mm rope is on the 5% longer program like the other ropes.
Color: Red White and Blue
The 8mm is for where the canyon is quite a ways from the road - and should be used around beginners with caution. The 300 footer makes a great Heaps rope if you are carrying it through. For most people, the Canyon Fire will be a better choice - twice as durable for about 10% more weight. Available in pre-cut lengths of 120, 200, 300 and 600 feet. Ordering by-the-foot is 10% more expensive than ordering the pre-cut lengths.
The 8mm has been discontinued as a main-line rope. We keep a little in stock for the afficionado who understands its limitations. The Canyon Fire replaced the 8mm, being about twice as durable for 10% more weight.
Weight: 1520 grams or 3 lb 5.3 oz per 100 feet
Rated Strength: 4100 lbs

We applied the Sheath-Heavy design that worked so well for the Canyon Fire to our 9mm rope, to get a somewhat bigger, somewhat stouter and better-handling rope — Canyonero! The sheath is 52% of the rope, so there is 8% more sheath than core. It is firmly woven for longest life, and uses 100% polyester to minimize water absorption. A nice handling, long-lasting static rope that works great, especially for heavier canyoneers and for Class C canyons with harsh rock, as in Ouray, Colorado.
The Canyonero is longer lasting (than the 8mm and 8.3mm) for 10% more weight. We also gave it a few more core strands, so it has a rated strength of 5000 lb.
NEW - SHORTS - we offer 10-20 foot pieces at a low low price, leftover from our cutting of spools. No choice of length, no choice of color
