Experience the pinnacle of lightweight climbing performance with the EDELRID Skimmer Eco Dry 7.1 mm, a masterfully engineered rope designed for the most ambitious climbers. The thinnest and lightest half rope on the market, the Skimmer sets a new standard for high-alpine efficiency and handling. It is the first choice for demanding ice and mixed climbing, or whenever every gram counts. When you´re pushing your limits on long, complex routes, the minimal weight and incredibly low drag of the Skimmer system translate directly into conserved energy and enhanced speed, allowing you to focus purely on the ascent.
This high-performance half rope is not just about its featherlight characteristic; it´s about delivering uncompromising safety and superior handling in the harshest environments. Now also with PFC-free Eco Dry finish as stipulated by the UIAA standard for water-repellent ropes. This innovative treatment ensures the rope absorbs virtually no water (less than 2%), preventing it from gaining weight and freezing in alpine or icy conditions. This UIAA-certified water repellency guarantees consistent performance and safety when you need it most, all while being an environmentally conscious choice.
EDELRID´s proprietary Thermo Shield treatment provides the Skimmer with its legendary supple handling right out of the packaging. This thermal stabilizing process perfectly harmonizes the core and sheath yarns, ensuring the rope remains compact and easy to manage throughout its lifespan. Furthermore, the Skimmer is ready for immediate use thanks to EDELRID’s 3D Lap Coiling technique, which eliminates the frustrating tangles and kinking common with new ropes, so you can tie in and start climbing without delay. Certified as both a half and twin rope, it offers maximum versatility for various climbing systems and objectives, making it an essential tool for serious alpinists and mountaineers.
