Edelrid Rope Siskin Eco Dry 8.6mm

The SISKIN ECO DRY is the lightest single rope in the world.

Thanks to our depth of production and the extraordinary manufacturing techniques at our site as well as our decades of experience, we were once again able to raise the bar for what is possible in terms of weight. With a diameter of 8.6 mm, the high-end rope weighs just 48 g per meter, making it the perfect rope for all vertical adventures, long climbs, and projects where every gram counts.

Features:

• Lightest single rope on the market
• Particularly suitable for projects where every gram counts
• Top handling and high abrasion resistance thanks to a robust sheath structure
• Durably water repellent and dirt resistant thanks to the PFC- and PFAS-free Eco Dry finish
• Water absorption of < 2% far lower than required by the UIAA Water Repellent Test
• Thermo Shield treatment for pleasant handling
• 3D lap coiling enables instant use without tangles
• Triple certification for additional use as a half and twin rope

Edelrid Technologies:

• Thermo Shield: Treatment applied to all ropes to ensure they have the rednowned Edelrid supleness. Thermal processing that perfectly aligns the core and sheath yarns.
• 3D Lap Coil: Makes the uncoiling of the rope for the first time unnecessary. 
• Eco Dry: Polyfluorinated and perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) and their subcategory PFAS in particular, make outdoor equipment resistant to oil, grease, and water. Once released into the environment, however, the chemicals degrade very slowly, posing a long-term environmental problem. With Eco Dry finishing technology, we have succeeded in developing a process that is almost on a par with high-performance PFCs and PFAS. Due to their three-dimensional kernmantle construction, the treatment process of ropes is very complex. This is because the finishing process must never compromise the safety and functionality of a climbing rope. The Eco Dry process meets all these requirements and is 100% free of PFCs and even PFAS. The world's first PFC- and PFAS-free rope that also meets the UIAA water repellent standard is the EDELRID Swift Eco Dry 8.9 mm. It absorbs less than 1 to 2% of its own weight in water. It is also bluesign® certified and offers comparable values to the Pro Dry line in terms of durability, abrasion resistance, and water and dirt resistance.
• Single Rope: Single ropes are the most common type of climbing rope. They are the classic climbing rope, as it were. Single ropes come in different lengths and diameters and cover a range of different applications. They are classic sport climbing ropes, for both outdoor and indoor use, and are also used for alpine climbing and mountaineering and by big wall climbers.
• Half Rope: Half ropes (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. However, unlike twin ropes, half ropes 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 (trad). It allows rope drag to be reduced where protection points are spread out and considerably reduces impact force.
• Twin Rope: 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 ropes offer greater safety reserves due to increased redundancy that comes with using two ropes. 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).
