The Glider‚Ñ¢ series represents the ultimate in durability and reduced rope drag. Built to the same high performance standards as Maxim New England Apex products, ropes in the Glider‚Ñ¢ series utilize TPT‚Ñ¢ sheath, significantly reducing drag. This technology, according to Rock & Ice Magazine, "[creates] a fabulous feel without being soft and mushy...noticeably reduces drag...[and is a] real joy to handle with minimal kinking..." The Glider is the perfect sport and trad climbing rope, and is a good all-around choice for extreme free climbing.
