Ape Canyon Outfitters 9.5mm Ghillie - Rock-N-Arbor

Designed specifically for the modern outdoorsman, Ghillie is constructed with a balanced-ply non-rotational polyester core and a 32 strand sheath for extended life. At 32 strands, you get the optimum sheath-to-core ratio, allowing for higher tensile strength and an incredibly smooth hand feel...

Has anyone tried this climbing rope yet? Ape Canyon 9.5mm Ghillie from Rock N Arbor. Haven't really seen or heard anything about yet.
 
I haven’t got any, but it must not have much stretch if the elongation rating is correct. I was more interested the 10.5mm Vulcanus, waiting for some of it to arrive. It would be hard to find a better rope than the Bluewater Protac.

Thanks @John RB, for the 10% discount!

I came across that rope a couple weeks ago. Far as I can tell, it is a house brand for Rock-N-Arbor. Seems they are building a product line under this "Ape Canyon" brand. I saw some aiders from them under the same brand, as well.

This makes me wonder about the origins of such rope. Who's actually making it? Where is it made? This info is hard to come by despite my searching, and that makes me cautious.

Just my thoughts.

I was wondering the same thing.
 
Anyone ever get any answers around the manufacturer/etc? I ordered some and it didn’t come with an instruction sheet or any other markings that indicate it’s certified to any safety standards. I submitted a question to RnR through their product page asking if it’s certified. Will see what they say.

Searching online for 3/8”, 32 strand static rope, I see Teufelberger KM III come up. The specs don’t match up exactly, but a lot of the descriptions are similar. E.g. mentioning non rotational, “optimum core/sheath ratio”, mentioning high UV and abrasion resistance. The close up photos also look similar. The KM III is listed as meeting EN 1891A and NFPA 2500 standards. Anyone have any experience with that rope to help determine if Ghillie might be a custom color of KM III?
 
FYI I posted on the JRB FB group and someone from Rock n Arbor responded if anyone wants to see there is a lot more info there.
