Ropes are often exposed to sharp edges - especially when used in alpine terrain. As a result, Edelrid's well-established Starling half rope now uses their Protect technology to offer far greater cut resistance. When manufacturing the Protect ropes, the sheath is strengthened using a special processing method involving aramid fibers without impairing the ropes’ dynamic properties.
The 8.0 Alpine Dry Rope by Mammut has a lightweight construction and is a versatile double rope for ice climbing, mountaineering, multi-pitch climbing and alpine climbing.
