1935 – 1950 // Paper

During World War II, h**p became scarce — and rope makers had to get creative.

💡 The solution? Paper ropes! Yes, Really! 📜
Special machines sliced paper into thin strips, which were then twisted into ropes. Even Teufelberger invested in this technology to keep production going. But after the war, it was back to h**p — because paper ropes had some serious drawbacks.

Still, it’s a fascinating chapter in rope-making history!

1790 – 1935 // H**p & Tow

When Teufelberger was founded in 1790, rope making looked a little different…
🌿 The go-to materials? Natural h**p fibers and tow — short, lower-quality h**p fibers.
🖐️ These were combed by hand (later by machine), spun into yarns, and finally stranded into ropes.
And for the history buffs:
🪢 Archaeologists have uncovered rope fragments made from willow and linen bast dating all the way back to the Stone Age! 🤯

Rope has always been a thread through human history — and we’re proud to be part of that legacy.

It is “history time” again, but more technical this time.

🧵 Let’s explore the history of rope materials and fibers — a journey that began a long time ago and continues to evolve today.

Stay tuned as we unravel some secrets of rope making and how the material of the ropes that connect our world today chanced in time. 💬

In 2021 did “Verdon 2K” in the Gorge du Verdon in France.

• 2,050 m of vertical free climbing
• 10 legendary routes from the 70s
• 3 BASE jumps
• 15 hours of total focus, trust, and movement.

Verdon 2K wasn’t just about breaking records. It was about chasing flow — together — from sunrise to sunset. The rope was part of the game. Trust, friendship, and the ability to climb & fly made it possible.
✨ Flow is magic. Verdon 2K was one of those rare moments.

🔍 Cover Constructions – Why the sheath matters

The sheath isn’t just protection—it defines how a rope performs. 👇

• Regular (2 over 2) – balanced durability and handling, great abrasion resistance
• TPT Twill Pattern Technology (1 over 1) – tighter and smoother, less rope drag
• Bi-Pattern – visual change to quickly find the midpoint

🧗‍♂️ The sheath protects the core and directly impacts grip, durability, and handling. 👉 Small construction details make a big difference on the wall.
