Edelweiss Sharp 8.5mm Double Rope

 Brand : Edelweiss
Item : EDL0005
Edelweiss Sharp 8.5mm Super EverDry is a half rope that pulls its weight--and then some.Many traditional, alpine, and ice climbers prefer a set of half-ropes to just one rope. The advantages include reduced rope drag in wandering situations, longer rappels, and less weight. Some climbers consider the thinner diameter of half ropes to be a disadvantage in certain situations as it makes the rope more sensitive to abrasion and being cut when running over sharp edges; Edelweiss, however, provides an elegant solution to this problem with their Sharp Edge Resistant Ropes. Where most conventional ropes fail when drop tested over a 0.75mm edge radius, the Sharp Ropes remain intact. All Edelweiss Sharp Ropes come standard with the Super EverDry and Perdur treatments — the Super EverDry treatment gives both the sheath and the core of the rope a hydrophobic coating, and the Perdur treatment means this rope is 33% more abrasion resistant than untreated ropes of the same diameter. Wow! Comes in 60m and 70m lengths. What more could you ask for?

Edelweiss Sharp 8.5mm Double Rope



Sharp as a rock...
The sharp is the sweetest rope I’ve used and compared to my 8.5x60M Bluewater. Sharp took to the test of a 5.9 route and passed the test with flying colors due to its light weight and bowline tying ease. Small problem was it looked too bright for me... heh!


Excellent handling qualities
I have been climbing for forty years. Early on I favoured Edeldrid ropes as the very best, then Mammut and now EdelWeiss which I think are the best of the excellent range of modern ropes available. I bought Sharp doubles because my latest single is a Sharp 10.5 and I really liked that. I also like the idea to the abrasion/cutting resistance properties (but luckily I haven't put that to the test)
