Edelrid Tommy Caldwell Eco Dry Rope

While this rope is designed for high-intensity sport and big wall climbing, its 9.6 mm diameter makes it a durable and manageable choice for beginners. It offers a good balance between weight and longevity, though it is engineered specifically for those who climb frequently.

The Eco Dry treatment repels water and dirt, preventing the rope from absorbing moisture and becoming heavy or freezing in cold conditions. Crucially, this version is PFC-free and PFAS-free, meaning it meets strict environmental standards without sacrificing performance.

The 48-bobbin construction creates a tighter, denser sheath, which significantly increases abrasion resistance. This makes the rope feel slightly stiffer than thinner, lighter ropes, but it provides much better durability when working projects or climbing on sharp rock.

Yes, the ColorTec middle mark is a permanent feature integrated into the rope's construction. Unlike ink-based markers that can fade over time, this mark is woven into the sheath, ensuring it remains visible for the entire lifespan of the rope.

Yes, this is a single rope, which is the standard for most sport and single-pitch trad climbing. Its robust construction makes it well-suited for the wear and tear often associated with big wall or trad objectives.
