Edelrid's Swift Protect Pro Dry Rope represents a new generation in versatile climbing ropes. It doesn't matter if you'r climbing ice, sport, trad, multi-pitch, big wall, or mountaineering the highest peaks around. The Swift excels at all categories of climbing, and Edelrid made it even more durable with aramid fibers in the sheath for increased cut resistance. Its 8. 9mm diameter makes this rope one of the skinniest certified single ropes on the market, and you can still use it as a half rope for icy ascents, or pair it up with another rope for ultra-long multipitches. Edelrid equipped this versatile climbing rope with a Pro Shield for optimal performance, a Dry Shield to resist water and dirt, and a Thermo Shield treatment for enhanced handling. Despite its skinny diameter and light weight, the Swift still boasts a superb fall rating when you use it as a single rope for onsight attempts, and its fall rating for when you use it has a half or twin rope is simply exquisite. Get the 80 meter for long multipitch routes, the 70 for sport, or rock the standard 60 if you want the ideal all-arounder.
