Climbing Rope Recall
Posted by admin under: Equipment .
The American Camp Association has publicized a recall of climbing ropes due to a possibility of failure through breaking. That’s a scary thought. “Hey! My climbing rope just snapped!” Replacement ropes will be sent by the manufacturer. There are less than 600 of these ropes that are being recalled so chances are your mountain adventure is unaffected.
Two types of climbing ropes have been included in this recall, the Maxim Apogee 9.1mm and Maxim Pinnacle 9.5mm. The Maxim Apogee 9.1mm is a 48 carrier climbing rope. The colors are yellow and black, and red and yellow. The model numbers are 3411-91 and 3415-91, with date codes 060801 thru 080601. The UPC codes are: 75396312299, 75396312298, 75396312301, and 75396312300. The Maxim Pinnacle 9.5mm is a blue 48 carrier climbing rope. The Model number is 3403-95, with date codes 070201 thru 080601. The UPC codes are 75396312292 and 75396312293. The date codes and the UPC codes are on the original packaging.
I think GearX has a picture of the rope, but it might be different so I’m not sure. If you want to see it you can go and check out their picture of the climbing rope. Stay safe.
