All Gear Cherry Bomb climbing line "Cherry Bomb" is All Gear's newest addition to its 24-strand climbing lines. Triple construction gives it a 24-strand outer braid, a 16-strand inner braid, and a neon orange cable and twisted core for an extra round firmness that climbers look for, especially when using with mechanical equipment. Cherry Bomb was produced from field request for a high-visibility line. As with the "Pro-lite 24," "Securelite" and "Rocket Line," "Cherry Bomb" is engineered with premium polyester. Excellent quality control along with field testing makes these ropes a perfect choice for the discerning climber. Call for samples (847-564-9016).
