Key Features

PMI Classic static rope has been at the heart of mountaineering and caving worldwide for over 30 years. Extreme durability and substance you can rely on are what this rope is known for. Built to exacting Cordage Institute Life Safety Rope requirements, this rope features a hard-wearing 16-carrier nylon sheath and a static core design. PMI Classic Sport rope normally features an EZ-Bend Sheath, offering a fine balance between extraordinary abrasion-resistance and good knotability. For even greater abrasion resistance, consider asking about PMI MaxWear. Characterized by greater sheath tension, the knotability of PMI Classic MaxWear is not anything to write home about, but for durability it simply cannot be beat.

Designed at the request of our customers, this rope is intended for use as a bagged throw rope for boat or shore based water rescue. The continuous stranded polypropylene core provides flotation to the wear‚ resistant braided nylon sheath. This rope has a higher breaking strength than economy polypropylene water rescue rope, and is much easier to grip.

A PMI rope revolution, the Access Pro is engineered for performance and flexibility. With a polyester sheath and nylon core, this rope is a perfect choice for Rope Access and Fall Protection.

Considered the Gold Standard of caving ropes by recreational cavers and rescuers alike, PMI Pit Rope is one of the burliest and longest-lasting ropesavailable today. The Max-Wear sheath is designed to withstand the harshest of cave environments, and makes ascending rope a breeze with its lowelongation and compatibility with most, if not all, SRT climbing systems. This iconic rope stands the test of time, and will easily survive trip after trip beingdragged through miles of cave passages and/or being rigged in raging waterfalls. While PMI Pit Rope is the original caver rope, don't be fooled: it is also aperfect tool for anyone that needs an incredibly durable workhorse where abrasion, resistance and reliability are paramount.

An incredible new PMI rope for Fire/Rescue professionals, the Classic Pro with Unicore technology is now available in a 12.5mm (1/2") diameter! Unicore technology creates the ultimate bond between sheath and core. This bond ensures sheath slippage is nearly zero, even when the sheath is entirely cut circumferentially. This rope allows the firefighter or rope technician to pass either a cut or torn sheath area, whether descending or ascending, since the sheath cannot bunch to create an impasse.

A CMC original design that has withstood the test of time, our Anchor Plates keep the carabiners holding the different parts of your rescue system from jamming together. The hardware becomes easier to see, making safety checks more accurate. It can also keep you from clipping a carabiner into the wrong loop of the anchor web. For anchor systems, it makes an excellent collection point. We use the Anchor Plate in CMC Rope Rescue classes, which allows our students to set up systems faster with fewer mistakes. Hole diameters: small 7/8 in (22 mm), large 2 in (51 mm)

Twenty years ago CMC introduced the Anchor Plateas a strong, lightweight, and compact collection point for connecting a rescue system to an anchor. And that point is an important feature. Over the years weve seen a steady progression of bigger, better anchor and rigging plates with more and more holes entering the market. But the bigger the plate, the less like a collection point it becomes, increasing the potential for rotation of the plate, creating additional system extension and shock-loading if any movement or failure of an anchor occurs. In 20 years of use, weve not seen an operational need for more holes, a larger size, or more weight.

Product Tip:
Besides serving as the point of distribution to any number of secure anchor points, rigging plates also serve the benefit of aligning the separate lines of a rigging system in distinct order, keeping multiple and various lines orderly. One tip when determining complementary gear to use with rigging plates; consider the versatility swivel pulleys can lend to the rigging system. They introduce rotational movement into the rigging lines running from the plate because the swivel pulley can rotate as needed to provide enhanced inline ability to clear other components within the system.
