A new braiding process and the combination of high-strength aramid and polyamide fibres with high cut resistance while still complying with the standard for dynamic mountain ropes.

Technique that makes uncoiling the rope unnecessary for the first time. It has now become super easy to instantly start your climb using your new rope.

Involves bonding the sheath and the core of the rope together during braiding. This reduces sheath slippage to a minimum and prolongs the lifespan of the rope.

A treatment that we apply to all our ropes. This ensures the rope remains compact and supple and that it does not shrink or become stiff.

Are sewn at one or both ends and are provided with a high-quality synthetic protective sleeve which keeps the lanyard in place and protects the seam from damage.

The diameter of all Edelrid static ropes and accessory cords can be determined from the number of tracer thread markings on the sheath.

Ropes have two yarns braided over one, compared to a standard sheath is that two yarns braided over two other yarns. The result is a compact, smooth sheath structure, abrasion resistant.

Braiding process has a different design for each half of the rope. The easily identifiable middle marking is useful when rapelling, estimating how much rope you have left and coiling.

A new finishing process. Untreated ropes can absorb up to 50% of their own weight in water. Pro Dry ropes are durably water repellent, dirt resistant, are particularly quick drying and hardly increase in weight.

Technology provides finishing technology meets the requirements for safety and functionality of other climbing ropes and is 100% free of PFC’s (Polyfluorinated & perfluorinated chemicals).

Technology has a permanent, mechanical connection between core and sheath. Compared to chemical connections (adhesives), which can break down over time, the Sync Tec connection is permanently stable, making them compact, stable & pleasant to handle.

Technology harnesses offer widespread load transmission, ergonomic fit and good breathability. Our 3D-Vent harnesses are among the most comfortable harnesses on the market. High-quality padding reinforced with homogeneous stitched webbing

Single ropes are the most common type of climbing rope. They are a classic sport climbing rope, for both outdoor and indoor use, also used for alpine climbing. One advantage is their simple, uncomplicated handling. They are generally stronger and can withstand a greater number of falls, but thicker also means heavier.

Twin ropes must always be used in pairs & they only offer standardised safety when used as a pair. It is important that twin ropes are always clipped together into each bolt or piece of protection. They have a lighter weight and a thinner diameter. Twin-rope techniques also provides increased safety due to their significantly greater sharp edge resistance as well as reducing the risk of a total failure (stonefall, breaking over a sharp edge).

Also known as double ropes are designed, like twin ropes, to be used as a pair. The same as twin ropes they also only offer standardised safety when used as a pair. They do not need to be clipped together into each bolt or piece of protection. This technique is ideal for poorly protected or zig-zagging routes or for traditional climbing. Half ropes can be used as a single rope to bring up a second. This is particularly relevant when climbing as a party of three and bringing up two seconds.

Classic carabiner with easy-grip brass sleeve allows gate to close quickly intuitively and one-handed if required. The manual locking mechanism must be closed actively to ensure full safety.

Automatic locking mechanism that is integrated into the gate. The slide is auto-locking, intuitive, and can be opened with one hand. The risk of accidental unclipping is minimised and handling is improved due to the carabiner being able to rotate freely.

With a twisting sleeve they must be opened by turning the sleeve approximately 90° before opening the gate. They are self closing, shutting automatically as soon as the gate is released & can still be operated with one hand. Ideal for when safety and speed are paramount.

3 separate actions are required to open this carabiner which offers extra safety compared to the screw-gate and twist-lock. One handed operation is more difficult and takes practice. Ideal for situations where maximum safety is required.

Steel insert at the apex of the carabiner. The hard-wearing steel prevents premature wear from rope friction and burrs or sharp edges. The rest of the carabiner is aluminium so still light and a joy to use.

Hardshell helmets are the tried-and-tested classics. Their highly stable structure makes them ideal for commercial facilities such as climbing schools and adventure parks. Hardshell helmets’ extremely robust and impact-resistant outer shell is usually made of polypropylene or ABS. The internal strap construction increases the cushioning properties and ensures that the helmet does not rest directly on the head. 

Softshell helmets, also known as in-mold helmets, are characterized by their low weight and good fit. They are growing in popularity and can now be found on the heads of many climbers and alpinists. However, you need to take particular care with softshell helmets when transporting and storing them as they are more sensitive than the other types of helmets. Softshell helmets comprise a very thin outer shell made of polycarbonate, which is firmly connected to a shock-absorbing expanded polystyrene (EPS) core. In the event of an impact, the EPS core deforms and absorbs the energy. The polycarbonate shell protects the EPS core from damage. The resulting force is also distributed across the entire helmet shell.

Hybrid helmets are particularly robust all-rounders for climbing, mountaineering, and using via ferratas. They combine the advantages of softshell and hardshell helmets, striking a good balance between lightness and stability. The tough ABS plastic outer shell makes the helmet impact resistant while the inner EPS foam shell offers good cushioning properties.

Closure system with rear adjustment dial which can be adjusted to fit all head shapes.

The head & neckstrap are adjustable via two clip buckles. Designed to provide the perfect fit, minimum pack size.

Large vents ensure a constant supply of fresh air and prevent heat build-up.

The 3D-Vent technology harnesses offer widespread load transmission, ergonomic fit and good breathability. Our 3D-Vent harnesses are among the most comfortable harnesses on the market. High-quality padding reinforced with homogeneous stitched webbing ensures even load transmission over all areas of the harness. The three-dimensional form of the leg loops are anatomically shaped to fit the human body. The robust three-layer foam padding retains its shape even when subjected to pressure. The perforations in the foam allow body heat and perspiration to escape.

All load-bearing straps of our harnesses are equipped with indicator webbing. In the event of excessive wear a red wear indicator warning thread becomes visible – alerting the user that the harness should be replaced.

Harnesses with integrated RFID transponders — for quick registration and effective management of PPE equipment. Using appropriate software it is possible to monitor application cycles and/or the PPE status of the product. This saves time and money while increasing safety.

EDELRID’s Climb Green label is a dynamic, internally developed label for products that currently fulfil the highest standards of responsible design and production on the market in their respective product group. Dynamic’ means that the product’s status can change. As soon as another product becomes available on the market that fulfils a higher standard with regard to responsible design and production, our product loses the Climb Green label. Despite this, it naturally retains all of its properties and remains a product with a responsible background from both social and ecological perspectives. By using the label, we want to give our customers and users transparent information about which of our products fulfil the highest standards and where other options may now exist.
