Gravity Aurora 11.5mm Climbing Rope (spLIFE Eye)
Description
Gravity features a double-braided kernmantle construction, with a nylon core and polyester cover. This combination ensures consistent performance under load, excellent grip, and long-term durability – even in demanding environments.
Gravity Series ropes are designed for climbers who want to shape their own experience – who don’t just work with gravity, but define it. The name reflects the rope’s purpose: to give professionals the control, confidence, and performance they need in every ascent and descent.
Developed and tested alongside our ambassador community, Gravity is built on the proven strengths of Tachyon and Fly. It combines Fly’s softness and flexibility with Tachyon’s resistance and strength, resulting in a rope that handles intuitively and performs reliably.
Our enhanced steaming technology ensures a super-compacted core, delivering smooth control and minimal sheath slippage. Gravity is suitable for both SRS and MRS, and works seamlessly with mechanical devices as well as friction hitch systems. Gravity also features spLIFE termination, enabling compliant third-party splicing – an industry-standard we’ve championed for over five years.
Key features:
· Extremely smooth handling – easy to splice, runs perfectly through mechanical devices and friction hitches.
· Low stretch – precise work positioning and efficient ascending, with comfortable shock absorption.
· Less bounciness – for efficient and effortless ascending
· Minimal sheath slippage – longer lifespan and improved safety.
· Comfortable grip – even when wet or with gloves.
· Bright, high-visibility colours – Aurora and Nebula designs inspired by the universe.
· Reduced tendency to kink or twist – for hassle-free use.
Gravity is more than a rope – it’s a statement. With its double-braided kernmantle construction, spLIFE compatibility, and ambassador-driven design, it’s built to meet the highest standards of performance and durability.
Whether you’re navigating complex canopy work or ascending with precision, Gravity delivers the control and reliability professionals demand. Available in multiple lengths and vibrant colourways, and certified to EN 1891A and ANSI Z133, Gravity is ready for every challenge.
Define your Gravity – with a rope that’s built to perform, built to last, and built to inspire.

Teufelberger Rope Care, Safety & Usage Guide
We strive to make only the highest quality ropes. By observing a few fundamental rules for their use, you can prolong the useful life of your ropes and get the best possible performance out of our products.
Abrasion and Sharp Edges
Abrasion and sharp edges are the worst enemies of your ropes. Check all your pieces of equipment prior to using them in order to verify that they do not have any burrs or sharp edges. Following climbs in highly abrasive environments, be sure to always check the ropes for wear-induced damage.
Checks and Inspections
Prior to any use, be sure to verify that the ropes are in a proper functional condition. Any abnormalities must be noted on the inspection card accompanying the product. In order to ensure the user’s safety, the product must be checked at least once annually by a qualified expert. If there are any doubts about its safety, the product must be retired. For more detailed information, please read the instructions for use accompanying our products.
Please find more information about “Rope Inspection” alongside some interesting videos here.
Damage and Retirement of Products
Textile products (harnesses, ropes, lanyards) shall generally be retired:
- If straps or seams are damaged
- Upon contact with chemicals, acids, oils, and solvents
- Upon exposure to heavy mechanical loads (falls)
- In the event of signs of extreme wear (abrasion, furring)
- In the event of heavy irreversible contamination (grease, oils, bitumen)
- In the event of fusion or signs of melting (after extreme thermal loads)
- Contact and friction heat
- End of permitted maximum service life
- If exceeded, fall rating
Elimination of Twist
Twisting increases the likelihood that a rope will kink and get caught in pieces of equipment. A strong twist can cause the rope’s cross-section to become non-round, which accelerates wear and reduces its strength. Eliminating twist from a rope improves its handling comfort and prolongs its lifespan. To this end, the rope must be unrolled correctly and placed in a straight line and then dragged along while the loose end is allowed to untwist itself freely. Winding it up in a figure 8 sling or stowing it in a rope bag prevents the rope from becoming twisted during storage.
Rope Storage and Care
Recommended conditions for proper storage:
- Storage temperature: approx. 68°F
- Relative humidity: 65 % max.
- No direct exposure to sunlight
- No aggressive chemicals in the rope’s vicinity
The best way to store your rope is loosely, in a dry condition, in a rope bag, protected against dirt and sunlight. In the case of slight soiling, it will be enough to clean it with clear water. In the case of more severe soiling, clean the rope using a mild soap solution; the use of distilled water is preferred, as upon drying, extremely calcareous water causes lime to crystallise inside the rope. Allow the washed ropes to dry slowly in the shade, not in direct sunlight and not near radiators.
Service Life
For details regarding the service life of the various products, please see the relevant manufacturer’s information documents. The actual useful life depends solely on the condition of the product, which in turn is influenced by various factors (see below). Extreme influences may shorten it to a single use only or to even less if the equipment is damaged prior to its first use (e.g. in transport). Mechanical wear and other influences, such as the impact of sunlight, will decrease the life span considerably. Bleached or abraded fibres, harness webbing, discolouration, and hardened spots are surefire indicators that the product needs to be retired. It is clearly not possible to offer a general statement about the product‘s service life, as such life span depends on various factors, e.g., UV light, type and frequency of use, handling, climatic influences such as snow, environments such as salt, sand, battery acid, etc. In general, the following rule applies: if the user, for whatever reason – however insignificant it may seem – is uncertain whether or not the product meets all the necessary criteria, its use must be discontinued and it must be handed to a qualified expert for testing and inspection. Retire any product that exhibits signs of wear! Following a fall, it is absolutely necessary that the product be replaced!
