Imlay applied the sheath-heavy design that worked so well for the Canyon Fire to their 9mm rope, to get a somewhat bigger, somewhat stouter and better-handling new 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 just a little more weight. Imlay also gave it a few more core strands, so it has a rated strength of 5000 lb.

Imlay's pre-cut rope is now 5% longer than the stated length. A "200 foot rope" will be at least 210 feet, usually a foot or two longer. Check out some rope shrinkage tests and rope absorption observations!

Available in pre-cut lengths of 120, 200, 300 and 600 feet. Pre-cut lengths of 240 and 360 also available, but expect a one-week delay in shipping. When other lengths make it onto this list, they are ACTUAL lengths.

Other lengths, ordering by-the-foot, are 10% more expensive than ordering the pre-cut lengths. Do NOT expect a choice of colors for either the 240, 360 or by-the-foot options.
