Edelrid Starling Protect Eco Dry 8.2 mm half rope climbing

The Starling Protect Eco Dry 8.2mm from Edelrid is a dynamic half rope specifically designed for alpine environments, where contact with sharp edges poses a constant risk to safety. Thanks to the innovative Protect technology, the sheath is reinforced with aramid fibers through a special processing method that drastically increases cut resistance without compromising the dynamic properties of the rope. With a diameter of 8.2 mm and a weight of only 44 g/m, this model boasts certification as both a half rope and twin rope, offering reliable protection even on sharp and abrasive terrain. The Eco Dry finish, free from PFC and PFAS, ensures permanent water repellency with water absorption of less than 2%, fully complying with UIAA standards. The manageability is ensured by the Thermo Shield treatment that keeps the rope soft over time, while the 3D Lap Coil system allows for immediate use without the risk of annoying tangles. Made in Germany with bluesign® certified materials, it features a central marking for quicker maneuvers and excellent technical data, including an impact force of 6.8 / 11.8 kN and a number of falls of 8 / 20 depending on the usage configuration. It is the ideal choice for climbers who do not want to compromise on weight but require maximum protection against edges in high mountains.
