The Edelrid rope book – advice and expertise in a handy format
As climbers, our ropes are more than just a means to an end. We trust them with our lives, whether in the mountains or at the local climbing wall. There are as many different types of ropes as there are climbers. At our production facilities in Isny im Allgäu, the EDELRID team is passionate about making climbing ropes. This fascination is what motivates us to produce top-quality ropes, here in Germany. However, to get the best out of your rope, it pays to make sure that you use it properly and look after it carefully. We've put together this rope book to share our fascination for ropes and ropemaking and to promote awareness of how to use them properly.
Who's the rope book aimed at?
This rope book is intended to be a reference tool and source of inspiration for all climbers and mountaineers. In particular, dedicated climbers will find that it provides important information for prolonging the lifespan of their climbing ropes. This rope book is aimed at every climber who wants to know more about how ropes are developed, manufactured and tested – and about the different types of ropes available.
