Edelrid Swift Eco Dry Rope

This triple certification means the rope is versatile enough to be used in three different ways. You can use it as a single rope for sport climbing, or as a pair of half or twin ropes for trad and alpine routes where you need to manage rope drag or require two strands for rappelling.

The Eco Dry finish meets the UIAA water-repellent standard, absorbing less than 2% of its weight in water. It performs just as well as traditional treatments but is unique because it is completely free of PFCs and PFAS, making it a more environmentally responsible choice.

While 8.9 mm is on the thinner side, it is manageable for experienced belayers. However, because it is thinner, it will run faster through belay devices, so you must be comfortable using a device with appropriate friction settings and always stay attentive while belaying.

No. Thanks to Edelrid’s 3D lap coiling process, the rope is ready to use straight out of the package. You can pull it out and start climbing immediately without worrying about the frustrating twists and tangles common with new ropes.

Thermo Shield is a thermal stabilization process that ensures the core and sheath yarns are perfectly balanced. This results in a rope that remains supple and easy to handle over its entire lifespan, rather than becoming stiff or harsh after repeated use.
