Edelrid have worked with professional climber and big-wall legend Tommy Caldwell to develop this rope, which is ideal for big walls and demanding routes. Featuring Edelrid's Color Tec technology creates a clearly recognizable change in color between the two halves of the rope and therefore a permanent center mark. Thanks to being made on a braiding machine with 48 bobbins, the rope has a particularly fine sheath structure that offers very pleasant handling and is extremely abrasion resistant despite its thin diameter. A single rope with low-emission, PFC- and PFAS-free coating.
Key Features:
Color Tec: An innovative braiding process for making bicolour ropes. The woven design of the rope completely changes when it reaches the middle. This provides a permanent and distinctive middle marking. We use this technique exclusively for ropes in our Pro Line. During braiding, the bobbin order of the sheath yarns alters on the braiding machine automatically at the middle of the rope. The design then changes so that the two rope halves of the rope are easy to distinguish. The ColorTec braiding process makes both color and design changes possible.
Thermo Shield: Thermo Shield is the basic treatment that we apply to all our ropes to ensure they have the renowned EDELRID suppleness. The treatment involves a thermal process that perfectly aligns the core and sheath yarns. A special heat treatment relaxes then shrinks the rope’s fibers. This harmonizes the gliding characteristics of the yarns inside the rope, making it supple and compact. The result is the creation of ropes that will neither shrink retrospectively nor quickly become stiff.
3D Lap Coiled: The 3D lap coiling technique makes uncoiling the rope for the first time unnecessary. We extended our production site with a specially developed lap coiling machine that winds up our ropes. In combination with the through-out design of the packaging provided with every EDELRID rope, it has now become super easy to instantly start your climb using your new rope: You do not have to do more than pulling it out! The marking on the rope as well as a detailed description on the packaging additionally ensure that you do things right and can use the full potential of the rope without annoying twisting and tangling.
