Robust dynamic rope from Edelrid, with a durable water-repellent finish The ideal introduction to the double-rope technique, the durably water-repellent and dirt-resistant Starling Pro Dry 8.2 mm a robust half rope with supreme handling properties and great value for money.The big advantage to the Starling Pro its epic low water absorption, thanks to the supreme Pro Dry treatment. Whereas untreated ropes can absorb up to 50 of their weight in water, becoming extremely heavy, difficult to handle and even freezing in cold conditions, Pro Dry ropes are quick drying, absorb virtually no water and are resistant to freezing. Due to their minimal water absorption 12 according to the UIAA water-repellent test, Pro Dry ropes hardly increase in weight, making them ideal for activities where ropes are more likely to get wet, such as ice climbing or mountaineering. Thanks to Edelrids mega 3D Lap Coiling technique, you dont need to uncoil this rope for the first time. Yep, just pull it out and off you go. The marking on the rope, together with a detailed description on the packaging, ensures you do things right and can use the full potential of the Starling Pro Dry without annoying twisting and tangling. The mega Edelrid suppleness there thanks to the smart Thermo Shield technology, which a treatment involving a thermal process that perfectly aligns the core and sheath yarns. A special heat treatment relaxes and then shrinks the ropes fibres, which harmonises the gliding characteristics of the yarns inside the rope, making it supple and compact. The result the creation of ropes that will neither shrink retrospectively nor quickly become stiff.As a twin rope, the Starling Pro Dry has a lighter weight and thinner diameter. There are greater safety reserves due to the increased redundancy that comes with using two ropes, while the significantly greater sharp edge resistance reduces the risk of total failure stonefall, breaking over a sharp edge. This why twin ropes are particularly suited to alpine climbing in demanding terrain or for ice and mixed climbing. Using twin ropes also allows you to abseil twice as far, so you can escape from a wall that bit quicker. Go explore in confidence with the rugged and dynamic Starling Pro Dry 8.2 mm rope from Edelrid.
