For a MAXIM climbing rope, the construction of choice is a KERNMANTLE construction. This means that tightly braided sheath over a bundle of twisted cores. This core construction keeps the rope firm but flexible and the cover gives it good handling and high resistance against dirt and abrasion. Other constructions used in rope making can be: - 3-strand - single braid - double braid #maximclimbingropes #maximropes #itsamaxim #climbing #rockclimbing #climbinrope #ppe #rope #techinfo #howisitmade #ropemaking #braiding #ropeconstruction #kernmantlerope
