Yale Cordage is working with an elite group
of arborists on a project intended to preserve
ancient trees in South Africa. By special
request, Yale developed a limited edition version of its Kernmaster rope, adorned with the
colors of the South African flag, to commemorate the expedition. Arborists and climbers
will be ascending old-growth trees that have
never been climbed before in order to take
measurements and protect the trees from the
impacts of development in the area. Worldrenowned arborist and professional climber Drew Bristow approached representatives at Yale Cordage to discuss engaging the rope manufacturer with the
expedition. Yale's response was to not only design the commemorative
Kernmaster, but to donate the product in an effort to benefit the project.
Kernmaster's strength-to-weight ratio, coupled with superior flexibility and ease of
handling, makes it a particularly good rope for use within the arborist community.
