Edelweiss®'s high-performance, shorter length twin rope designed for mountain walking, glacier travel and usage during emergencies.

  • Small diameter and dry finish keep the weight down, while its 30-meter length coils small for easy transport in a pack
  • Super Everdry™ treatment coats both sheath and core fibers to minimize water-absorption
  • Additional Perdur™ sheath fiber coating helps increase abrasion resistance up to 33%
  • Smooth, tightly braided sheath improves durability, reduces rope drag and allows easier handling
  • Meets or exceeds UIAA tests for falls, impact force and elongation
  • Compact size and dynamic construction can be used singly for mountain and glacier travel as well as backcountry safety

NOTE: Twin ropes are designed to be used in matching pairs (sizes, lengths and brands) and should be used parallel within a twin rope system. Using a mis-matched pair will cause undue wear on the ropes, exposing you to a higher risk of rope failure. They can be used singly in certain situations (like basic glacier climbs and traverses) where the risk of severe falls is absent

Imported.

      Comments about EDELWEISS Discover 8mm x 30m Super Dry Twin Rope:

      Bought this rope for glacial travel for 2 and 3 person teams. Took it up Mt. Rainier in late September and it worked great. Due to its lightweight and 30m length it easy to pack. Color is bright enough to see well even in the darkest of nights on the mountian. It takes knots well, bites tight, but also unties easily. Comparing this to another 8mm rope I notice the sheath isnt as 'smooth' as the other rope...but this in no way made any difference while climbing or tying in. Buy with confidence.
