The Edelrid TC Eco Dry DuoTec 9.6mm climbing rope was developed in cooperation with the professional climber Tommy Caldwell. Its high sheath proportion makes it ideal for working routes or big wall climbing. Now also with a PFC- and PFAS-free Eco Dry finish in line with the UIAA standard for water-repellent ropes.

The TOMMY CALDWELL ECO DRY DT 9.6 MM is a rope that is extremely robust thanks to its high sheath content and at the same time particularly sustainable thanks to the newly applied Eco Dry finish. Usually poly- and perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) and also their subcategory of PFAS are used, which make outdoor equipment resistant to oil, grease and water.

Edelrid TC Eco Dry DuoTec 9.6mm Features:

• Duo Tec for permanent middle marking: A patented braiding process developed by EDELRID for the production of bicolor ropes. The two halves of the rope are clearly distinguishable due to a change in pattern halfway along the rope. The middle of the rope can always be clearly identified, which is a great advantage especially when abseiling, coiling a rope, or estimating how much rope you have left. This change in design is achieved by a bicolor strip woven into the sheath. On reaching the middle of the rope, the strip automatically switches from one side (e.g. green) to the other (e.g. black). This gives the rope a permanent center mark.
• Durably water repellent and dirt resistant thanks to the PFC- and PFAS-free Eco Dry finish
• Water absorption of < 2% far lower than required by the UIAA Water Repellent Test
• Thermo Shield treatment for pleasant handling: Thermo Shield is the basic treatment that we apply to all our ropes to ensure they have the renowned EDELRID suppleness. The treatment involves a thermal process that perfectly aligns the core and sheath yarns. A special heat treatment relaxes then shrinks the rope’s fibers. This harmonizes the gliding characteristics of the yarns inside the rope, making it supple and compact. The result is the creation of ropes that will neither shrink retrospectively nor quickly become stiff.
• 3D lap coiling enables instant use without tangles: The 3D lap coiling technique makes uncoiling the rope for the first time unnecessary. We extended our production site with a specially developed lap coiling machine that winds up our ropes. In combination with the thoughtout design of the packaging provided with every EDELRID rope, it has now become super easy to instantly start your climb using your new rope: You do not have to do more than pulling it out! The marking on the rope as well as a detailed description on the packaging additionally ensure that you do things right and can use the full potential of the rope without annoying twisting and tangling.
