If you have a NAMAH Lynx 8.4 mm or Genius 8.4 mm dynamic climbing rope, stop using it now. Do not use it for climbing, belaying, abseiling, rescue, work at height, or any other purpose where it could be called on to hold a fall.
The hazard
Testing has shown that this rope can break after arresting only a small number of falls, and below the number required by the standard EN 892 for dynamic mountaineering ropes. We have confirmed a non-compliance against the standard in our own testing.
A rope that breaks during a fall can cause serious injury or casualty.
The cause is under investigation. Until that investigation is complete, this rope must not be relied on to hold a fall.
