Teufelberger KM III 11mm Climbing Rope
Teufelberger KM III is a static line ideal for single rope technique in tree climbing as well as rappelling and for salvaging. KM III is certified to EN 1891A and NFPA 2500 (1983). It is equipped with a core of polyamide and a cover of polyester. This polyester cover is robust and ideal for ascenders since it features a very good grip. Therefore, the climber is able to move up the rope without the bounce one usually encounters on an all-polyamide climbing rope
The polyester cover is perfectly balanced with the polyamide core to limit rotation, recoil and stretch. The rope construction of the KM III with its 32-strand cover provides for an optimum cover/core ratio ensuring an extraordinarily smooth cover, higher tensile strength values and excellent handling.

KM III is a decent line for some srt applications was a little stiff for my taste
Solid SRT Rope
I've climbed on this and used some for a rope bridge. Teufelberger KM III worked well in both applications, but I'm not completely sold on it as a climb line. The rope's just not as smooth as it could be compared to other modern Kernmantle options, and has a tendency to cable when held taut for awhile...makes it a little harder to re-crotch or throw through redirects. It works well, but it's not my go-to.
