Creative Technology. We’ve pulled out all the stops for 2012. The

new EDELRID collection combines innovative engineering, made in

Germany, with outstanding creativity. We feel that this is the best

EDELRID collection yet.

2012 sees the introduction of our patented DuoTec technique, which

marks a further milestone in innovative rope manufacturing. The

two new additions to our Entrance Line feature this technique for

making bi-colour ropes. Needless to say, both the Viper 9.6 mm and

the Boa  9.8  mm are manufactured in accordance with the stringent

bluesign® standard.

With the Cable Vario, EDELRID is once again setting new standards for

via ferrata safety. It’s the first ever via ferrata set where braking resis-

tance can be individually adjusted according to the weight of the user.

This development is going to revolutionise the future of via ferrata sets.

EDELRID’s new ice tools cover all aspects of winter mountaineering.

Their intelligent, modular design means that they can be adapted to suit

all routes and conditions.

EDELRID helmets go from strength to strength. Two new models,

Shield II and Zodiac, continue the winning formula of innovative tech-

nology, attractive design and outstanding comfort.

Climbing shoes have formed an important part of the EDELRID portfolio

for two years now. 2012 sees the addition of four new models. The Sigwa

is a top-class shoe with superb edging stability and optimal sensitivity

in the toe area.

The EDELRID developers have designed a completely new product ran-

ge: alpine rucksacks. Two new technical packs provide a secure, positi-

ve carry and a raft of sophisticated features. As you would expect, they

benefit from EDELRID’s unique design for instant brand recognition.

EDELRID clothing incorporates casual, comfortable styling with robust

climbing-specific detailing. The new range includes several pieces in

technical performance fabrics. See, for example, the Commander soft-

shell pants – an essential item in anyone’s outdoor wardrobe.

We’re proud to present such a comprehensive collection of innovative

products and look forward to a successful 2012 season.

Quality and safety are the key to making responsible and innovative

high-performance ropes. EDELRID has been following this maxim

for the past 149 years. Our ropes and experience in manufacturing

them are the heart and soul of our long-established brand.

To further extend our quality and safety standards, we have been

working with bluesign® technologies ag from Switzerland since

2009. We are the first rope manufacturer to adapt our ropes to meet

the tough demands of the bluesign® standard. The bluesign® stan-

dard is the most stringent environmental standard for the produc-

tion of functional textiles. It is independent, internationally recogni-

sed and based on the five principles of sustainability. These include

resource productivity, emissions protection, safety at work and con-

sumer protection. The bluesign® standard’s goal is to follow these

five principles throughout the whole textile manufacturing chain.

EDELRID has set new industry benchmarks for innovative and su-

stainable rope production. All the materials used to make our ropes

are bluesign®-approved fabrics. We can therefore guarantee as few

pollutants as possible without making any compromises in terms of

functionality, quality and design. Our ropes carry the bluesign® pro-

duct label thanks to their combination of certified source materials

and our advanced rope production facilities in Isny. The bluesign

product label is a sign of quality. It guarantees an eco-friendly ma-

nufactured product that is low in pollutants and safe for heath and

the environment. As such, we have responded to consumers’ natural

demands for safe, environmentally friendly and sustainable products.

Three years of bluesign® allow us to draw on in-depth experience of

sustainable rope production. By converting all our rope production

to the tough demands of the bluesign® standard we were able to

make the following efficiencies when dyeing sheath yarns:

For EDELRID this represents a further step towards a sustainable

future. We have consistently pursued the task of pushing forward

sustainable rope production so that we can continue to inspire trust

in the future. We do not consider these measures a virtue, but a na-

tural response to demands of the modern world.

As the inventor of the kernmantel rope, we continue to set new stan-

dards. We can now confidently say that our ropes are eco-friendly.

The newest manufacturing technology and a highly elaborate finishing

process are the characteristics of the Pro Line. It unites minimal weight

and diameters with technical advances and superior handling. This ma-

kes the Pro Line your ideal partner for pushing the limits when every

gram counts. Pro Line’s advantage lies in the new Pro Shield finishing

process, one of the newest developments from EDELRID.

A product made using strictly regulated

environmentally-friendly processes that

contains no harmful substances.

A single rope, which complies to the twin and double rope standards. At

just 8.9 mm the Swift is one of the thinnest single ropes on the market,

making it the best choice for avid sport climbers looking for minimal

weight and diameter as well as mountain guides and mountaineers loo-

king for a rope that can master all climbing disciplines on rock and

ice. EDELRID Pro Shield treatment protects the core and sheath against

grim and wet while the Thermo Shield ensures perfect handling and

flexibility. Attention: this rope is not suitable for working routes or top

roping.

The Kite is the ultimate rope

for climbing at the upper limits

of today‘s climbing grades. Mi-

nimal weight, small diameter,

and optimum handling descri-

be this specialist rope. The Pro

Shield treatment on the Kite

repels moisture, dust and dirt,

while the Thermo Shield treat-

ment gives the rope the unique

EDELRID handling properties of

durability and suppleness. Not

suitable for working routes or

top rope climbing.

Extremely light yet robust, the

Falcon is ideal for hard routes,

on-sight, flash or redpointing

when every gram counts. With

our new special Pro Shield

treatment, the Falcon is ideal

for mixed routes and ice clim-

bing. EDELRID‘s Thermo Shield

treatment gives the rope perfect

handling properties.

To mark the middle of the rope,

the braiding spools are changed

halfway through the braiding

process to create two distinctly

different sheath patterns. Each

rope length has a different color.

Easy to find the middle with the

pattern change.

A universal lightweight rope

for climbing in alpine, crag

or indoor conditions. With

EDELRID‘s new and highly effi-

cient Pro Shield treatment, the

Eagle offers the perfect protec-

tion for wet or dirty conditions.

Equally at home on fast alpine

ascents where snow or rain

can be expected, or on a warm

sunny day at the crag, the Eagle

fulfils the task with flying co-

lors. EDELRID‘s Thermo Shield

handling coupled with the Pro

Shield helps provide excellent

handling at an amazingly low

weight of 62 g per meter.

The EDELRID Apus complies

with both twin and double rope

standards, making it the ideal

rope for alpine, mixed and ex-

treme mountaineering where

every gram counts. Despite a

very low weight of just over 2 kg

for a 50 m length, the Apus can

hold an amazing 20 double rope

test falls and 8-9 in the twin

rope test. This makes the Apus

one of the lightest twin ropes on

the market with high a degree of

safety. The EDELRID Pro Shield

treatment keeps the rope dry

and dirt-free while the Thermo

Shield treatment helps keep the

rope supple even after heavy

and prolonged use.

The Dry Line is EDELRID’s ideal allround rope series. Minimal weight,

high strength and durability are all perfectly balanced. Ropes treated

with the Dry Shield finish are resistant to water, dust and dirt. The Dry

Line is the only choice when it comes to choosing a rope for a multiple

of activities.

A product made using strictly regulated

environmentally-friendly processes that

contains no harmful substances.

We’ve made the sheath even thi-

cker on this EDELRID classic.

As a result, you get an extreme-

ly robust half rope with unparal-

leled quality and durability. The

thicker sheath and water- and

dirt-repellent Dry Shield finish

make its particularly suitable

for alpine mountaineering and

ice climbing. If climbing in a

team of three, the Kestrel also

provides extra safety when

bringing up two seconds. If you

want a half rope with additional

security and extended durabili-

ty, then the Kestrel is what you

are looking for.

For those who value minimum

diameter and weight with a ma-

ximum degree of strength and

safety. At 44 g per meter, you

still have comfortable handling

while belaying. Thanks to the

water, dirt and dust resistant

Dry Shield treatment, the Mer-

lin provides unrivalled quality

and performance even when the

going gets tough. In addition,

the Thermo Shield treatment

ensures optimum handling even

in icy weather conditions.

The Heron is the new flagship in

the EDELRID Dry Line. Its low

weight, high strength and excel-

lent handling perfectly comple-

ment each other. The Dry Shield

finish protects against moisture

and dirt, while the EDELRID

Thermo Shield finish ensures

smooth handling. These cha-

racteristics make the Heron the

perfect all-rounder. Whether

sport routes or winter climbing,

the Heron is suitable for all con-

ditions.

The new Dry Shield finish has

helped us reduce the diameter

on the Harrier, a classic EDEL-

RID rope, without reducing its

strength. With the advantage

of this tough construction, the

Harrier is useable in both the

mountains and low-lying crags.

The Dry Shield finish protects

against moisture and dirt. The

Thermo Shield treatment gua-

rantees an agreeable handling

even after a lot of use and abuse.

The Sports Line has become the choice of sport climbing champions.

The double-braid construction creates a particularly tight and smooth

sheath which is very abrasion resistant and the Thermo Shield treat-

ment provides the famous EDELRID handling characteristics. Those

who have tried these ropes once have become permanent, convinced

users. Anyone searching for a rope that will be worked hard, the Sports

Shield is the right choice.

A product made using strictly regulated

environmentally-friendly processes that

contains no harmful substances.

Those looking for a rope that can be worked hard make the right deci-

sion when choosing the Hawk. With a weight of only 63 g per meter,

the Hawk is a super lightweight for its class. This weight advantage,

coupled with our Thermo Shield treatment and its sport braid sheath

construction makes this an ideal choice for all types of sport climbing.

For crag climbing there isn‘t a better rope. The particularly tight Sports

Braid sheath construction in combination with slightly thicker yarns

has given the Osprey an incredibly tough and durable sheath. This is

why even after many falls the Osprey looks almost as good as new.

The Shikra is particularly good for trad climbing where a double “sport”

rope is needed. Its slightly thicker diameter and thicker sheath provide

an extra margin of safety when one rope is heavily loaded during a fall

or when climbing in a team of three. The Shikra‘s special double Sports

Braid construction provides extra abrasion protection on particularly

rough rock like sandstone or granite. The Thermo Shield treatment pro-

vides easy and supple handling for this EDELRID rope.

Proven EDELRID quality and excellent value for money describes the

Entrance Line. The sturdy construction of the Entrance Line makes this

rope a constant companion at the crag and in the gym.

A product made using strictly regulated

environmentally-friendly processes that

contains no harmful substances.

A lightweight, smaller diameter

single rope with optimal hand-

ling. The Viper is particularly

suitable for sports routes. The

thicker sheath (45%) means

makes it extraordinarily robust,

despite its smaller diameter.

Our new DuoTec process provi-

des permanent marking in the

middle of the rope and a distinct

design.

An ideal rope for the price- and

quality-conscious climber. Even

though it‘s a great value, the

handling qualities of the Python

are the equal of much more ex-

pensive ropes, and makes clim-

bing and belaying a pleasure

from the very first day. Surpri-

singly light and durable for a

rope in this price range.

A robust, abrasion resistant sin-

gle rope and great value for the

money. Its robust construction

and the Thermo Shield treat-

ment make the Cobra a reliable

companion for cragging and in-

door climbing.

The Boa is a good introductory

rope to the sub 10.0 mm diame-

ter range. The 9.8 mm Boa is a

very universal rope that fea-

tures EDELRID‘s Thermo Shield

treatment, giving it excellent

handling properties. Our new

DuoTec process provides perma-

nent marking in the middle of

the rope and a distinct design.

The special braided core construction of the Tower is extremely flexi-

ble and robust, making it well suited for a life as a top rope and for

the extremely dry and dusty conditions at a climbing gym. The unique

core construction also reduces core herniation, which can occur due

to excessive top roping. With the EDELRID Dry Shield finish and Ther-

mo Shield treatment the Tower still maintains the traditional characte-

ristics of an EDELRID rope: suppleness, good handling, and abrasion

resistance. This rope is suitable for climbing beginners but performs

excellently outdoors as well.

Sometimes your nerves need a little support – above all with children

– when you are on a demanding walk, Class-4 scramble, or with less

experienced climbers in the mountains. For such moments we have the

Confidence, an 8.0 mm rope with a host of uses and always good to have

with you. Not to be used on Glaciers.

Slightly less strechy than our Superstatic models, the EDELRID Pro-

static rope is manufactured with a single braid construction to lessen

resistance when the rope passes through descending devices.

With its low elongation and very durable sheath, the Superstatic is ide-

al for meeting the demanding conditions of caving, rescue, industrial

and expedition use. Manufactured with a sheath that is tightly woven

to prevent the entry of dirt into the core, the sheath construction also

makes it resistant to abrasion and the wear from ascenders.

A floating rope especially made for canyoning. The special sheath

construction makes this rope very hard wearing for intensive abseiling

in wet conditions which is essential when canyoning. Meets the CE Sta-

tic rope standard EN 1891 Type B. Bright colours assist visual location

under water. Available in 9.0 (only use in double strand) and 11.0 mm.

EDELRID’s accessory cord is a very hard-wearing cord. Easy to knot due

to the special sheath construction, additionally the Powerloc Expert is

fleck marked to enable the diameter to be ascertained even on worn

cords. Available on 50 or 100 m rolls.

Multicords are real all-rounders and definitely should be part of your

climbing , camping or household equipment. The extremely robust and

tear-proof cords can be used universally.

Specially-designed accessory cord made of high-strength aramid. Its

minimal stretch properties make it ideal for hauling up material or

even abseiling. Not suitable for lead climbing, working routes or top

rope climbing.

All technical specifications for our climbing and semi-static ropes have been determined by the independent, UIAA approved test institute at Stuttgart University (IFT)

Rope manufacturing processes are subject to fluctuations. EDELRID garantees the following tolerances to the given data:

The Smith harness combines optimal comfort and

minimal weight, and sets new standards for high-end

harnesses. The Tri-Laminate technology ensures the

perfect distribution of pressure and load on the wa-

ist loop, and the anatomically formed leg loops with

elastic mesh insert mold snugly around the thighs.

The E-Turn system raises the comfort level and user

friendliness of this single buckle harness. In addition

the Smith is fitted with four fixed gear loops and one

chalk bag loop. To increase the lifetime of this har-

ness, the Smith is fitted with a Hytrel®-Protector at

the tie-in point.

The Creed banishes the need to decide between

weight and comfort when going alpine climbing. This

harness is a three buckle design for extreme use and

incorporates the Tri-Laminate technology. EDELRID

is the first manufacturer to integrate quick-adjust 10

mm Easy-Glider buckles in the leg loops. Combined

with the elastic mesh insert, the leg loops meet all

the comfort needs of a sport harness but have full ad-

justability. This adjustability allows the harness to fit

– whether you’re sport climbing with light clothes in

summer or mountaineering with heavy insulation in

winter – and fulfills the safety standards despite its

very low weight. E-Turn, Hytrel®-Protector, and four

asymmetrical gear loops make the Creed an unbeata-

ble alpine harness.

The lightweight Korben is a real all-rounder. Regard-

less if you are sport or alpine climbing this harness

is perfect in all terrains. Fitted with all the features

that unify minimal weight and maximum comfort,

the Korben has Tri-Laminate construction, Hytrel®-

Protector at the tie-in point, and the combination of

10 mm buckles and 3D mesh in the leg loops. To keep

the tie-in point and the four gear loops centered, the

Korben is fitted with two buckles on the waist loop

using the E-Turn system, which also give this harness

a large adjustment range for added versatility.

An ultra light harness for performance-oriented

sport, indoor and competition climbing. The Loopo

works without a buckle (the aluminium quick clip is

for positioning support only), helping to reduce the

weight to only 265 g, making this EDELRID innova-

tion the lightest fully functional padded harness on

the market. A very high level of comfort is attained

through the Triad®-System and the ergonomic design

which hugs the waistline and thighs giving maximum

sitting comfort. The Loopo‘s low tie-in point enhan-

ces clipping and paying out rope when belaying. The

Loopo comes standard with two integral and extre-

mely sturdy gear loops. Additional gear loops can be

attached if required. The Loopo is a no-compromise

harness for all vertical disciplines where minimum

weight and maximum comfort are required.

The female version of the Loopo harness. Specifically

designed for the female form.

The Loopo Light has been designed for high alpine

touring, back country skiing and glacier walking

situations where minimum weight and maximum

breathability are desired. The Loopo Light is perfect

however for Via Ferrata, or as a spare harness fitting

into almost any pocket. With a weight of only 210 g,

the Loopo Light is one of the lightest, fully functional

climbing harnesses on the market. The fully breatha-

ble mesh provides unbeatable comfort and the Triad®-

System ensures a close, ergonomic fit and the two

patented Slide Rail®-System gear loops can be positi-

oned wherever desired on the harness. This harness

has become an absolute favorite amongst mountain

guides.

The Moe is a very comfortable ergonomically cut har-

ness. The moveable foam waist padding allows the

tie-in area to be centralized and ensures an optimal

positioning of the four fixed gear loops. The Triad®-

System and longer elastic provide a perfect leg loop fit

and the Hytrel®-Protector on the tie-in loop protects

the webbing from abrasion while the 28 mm Easy Gli-

der buckle is easy to adjust and close. The Moe is a

comfortable and very robust sport climbing harness.

The Jay is the real all-arounder in the EDELRID coll-

ection. This harness features adjustable leg loops,

flexible gear loops, positionable waist padding

and Hytrel®-Protector on the tie-in loop, which pro-

tects the webbing from abrasion. Finishing it off,

EDELRID‘s 28 mm Easy Glider buckle is used the wa-

ist belt while the 20 mm buckles are perfect for the

leg loops. The Jay is an ideal all-around harness for

all types of climbing.

With its large adjustment range and safety features,

the Duke is ideally suited for training and rental

use. The Duke is fitted with two EDELRID Easy Gli-

der buckles in the waist belt and fully adjustable leg

loops. The two-buckle system in the waist provides

for optimal centering of both the tie-in loop and the

haul loop at the back regardless of climber size. Ad-

ditionally, there are four flexible gear loops, and the

Hytrel®-Protector on the tie in loop safeguards against

rope abrasion. As a fully adjustable, comfortable har-

ness, the Duke‘s components and features also make

it a great all-around harness.

The Austin is a tough rental-oriented harness ideal for courses and

climbing walls. The adjustable padding in the waist loop is easily cen-

tered and allows a greater sizing range. Different colors identify the

harness size at a glance, and the waist and leg loops are distinguished

from each other by their different colors, making the orientation of the

harness much easier for beginners. Features two robust gear loops and

the integrated “window” for individual marking of the harness, while

the Hytrel®-Protector reduces the rope abrasion at the tie-in point, hel-

ping to extend the lifespan of the harness.

The Finn is an excellent value for money fully adjustable children’s

harness. Thanks to the second buckle in the waist belt, the harness`

tie-in loop can be optimally centered, and the no-threading Easy Glider

buckles are fast, easy and safe.

The Randonee alpine harness has been developed for classic mountai-

neering and back country skiing. The clip-in buckles on the leg loops

allow the harness to be put on while wearing skis or crampons. Despite

the Randonee‘s light weight, the waistbelt is comfortable with adequate

padding and easy to use clip-in buckle.

The Joker was developed with adventure education in mind – this is a

harness for guiding schools, rental and training events. Another key

safety aspect is the Jocker`s buckles can not be opened. The Joker is

also available in size extra small for children.

The Solid is a lightweight full body harness ideally suited for Via Fer-

rata. The clip in buckles allow the harness to be completely opened and

put on like a jacket, which is advantageous when the harness has to

be put on in steep terrain or when wearing mountaineering boots or

crampons . For clarity, there is color differentiation between waist and

leg webbing and “left-right” tabs on the leg loops. Gear loops allow Via

Ferrata sets and other pieces of gear to be clipped out of the way when

not needed.

The Fraggle is a padded full body harness for children up to 40 kg. Its

padding helps maintain its shape and makes it easier to put on and take

off. The Fraggle is a fully-fledged harness with an additional tie-in loop

at the back for securing when on rough or steep terrain.

The Agent is far superior to conventional chest harnesses with their

endless buckles. The classic figure-of-eight shape has just one Easy Gli-

der buckle. Its weight-saving construction is padded to improve venti-

lation. The Agent can be worn under a rucksack and used with all sit

harnesses. Chest harnesses should only be used in combination with a

sit harness.

A fully adjustable children’s chest harness which is ideal for use with

the Finn children’s sit harness. Because a child’s center of gravity is

somewhat higher than adults, the chest harness prevents the child from

tipping backwards. The use of a chest harness for young children is

particularly recommended as it supports and helps the child feel more

comfortable and safe in climbing surroundings. One big advantage of

this chest harness is its adjustability range, which allows the harness

and child to grow together. The harness design is the classic 8-form,

and is adjusted with one buckle. Chest harness should only be used in

combination with a sit harness.

Via ferratas are becoming more and more popular. Including for fa-

milies with children. Via ferrata sets have a shock absorber to prevent

falls and minimize the risk of injury. Controlled braking (of the person

falling) significantly reduces the fall factor and the resulting impact

force on the body and anchor point.

The current safety standard (EN 958) on via ferrata sets requires that

they can withstand a 5 m fall with a weight of 80 kg and a maximum

impact force of 6 kN. The maximum braking distance may not exceed

1.2 m.

Research using test dummies has shown that shock absorbers desi-

gned in accordance with EN 958 have braking distances of only a few

centimetres when used by lighter persons weighing 30 kg (Fig 1). This

means that these via ferrata sets provide virtually no dynamic shock

absorption, and cause substantial impact forces, which could be parti-

cularly dangerous for children or lighter users (Fig 2).

The EDELRID Cable Vario has a solution to this design flaw. The Cable

Vario is the first ever via ferrata set with braking resistance that can

be adjusted according to the weight of the user. The Cable Vario’s core

component is the newly developed and patented Variobrake. It allows

braking resistance to be individually adjusted according to the user’s

weight, similar to the Z-Value or release setting for ski bindings.

The advantage is clear: a via ferrata set that can be adjusted to suit all

users. It ensures a braking distance of 1.2 m and minimizes impact

force for children and lighter users (Fig. 3) . Serious injurious caused by

non-triggered energy absorbing systems is avoided. With the Cable Va-

rio, EDELRID is once again setting new standards for via ferrata safety.

The Cable Vario naturally includes tried and trusted EDELRID technolo-

gy, such as our patented OneTouch carabiners. Together with the elasti-

cated webbing they ensure good handling when clipping or unclipping.

The Cable Vario is a compact via ferrata set with “state of the art” safety

features.

Fig. 3: EDELRID Cable Vario: braking distances with 30 kg, 50 kg and 80 kg.

Fig. 1: Conventional via ferrata set: braking distances with 30 kg, 50 kg and 80 kg.

Fig. 2: Conventional Via Ferrata Set: Accelaration with 30 kg, 50 kg and 80 kg.

The flagship and standard setter, the Cable Comfort Via Ferrata set is

fitted with EDELRID patented OneTouch-carabiners offering an ease of

use like never before. The patented opening mechanism opens easily

just by pushing on the spine and prevents fingers getting stuck between

gate and steel cable. The flat laser-formed design prevents the carabiner

from breaking in a side load situation. Elastic ends keep the carabiners

near to hand and the integrated swivel prevents twisting of the ends.

The Cable Comfort set conforms to the EN 958 safety standard.

The EDELRID classic in a new design. This innovative via ferrata set

has a zipped shock absorber to reduce impact in the event of fall. The

absolute highlights are the EDELRID OneTouch carabiners. The paten-

ted opening mechanism with automatic closure opens easily just by

pushing on the spine. This prevents fingers getting stuck between gate

and cable. Its extremely flat, laser-formed design prevents the carabi-

ner from breaking in a side load situation. With its elasticated webbing

the Cable Kit 4.0 ensures safe and easy handling. Complies with the EN

safety standard 958 and the UIAA standard 128.

Very light and compact Via Ferrata set at just 270 grams this is one of

the lightest and safest sets available. The specially developed webbing

for the ends and attachment loop are made of a 12 mm Dyneema®/po-

lyamide yarn mix coupled with the EDELRID super light auto closing

carabiners has reduced weight to an absolute minimum. Safety is al-

ways a top priority, and despite the exceptionally low weight the Cable

Ultralight conforms to the EN 958 safety standard. The Ultralight is so

compact, it will fit easily in a jacket pocket.

Light and compact for a safe and enjoyable Via Ferrata adventure. The

Y construction with elastic ends and shock absorber help keep the ca-

rabiner near to the body at all times optimizing ease of handling. Ad-

ditional safety is provided by the robust Brenta carabiner with palm

squeeze mechanism to prevent unintentional opening. The Cable Lite is

attached directly via the tape loop to the harness using a lanyard hitch

knot. Complies with the EN standard 958.

A classic Via Ferrata set with rope brake and Y form construction. The

integrated swivel prevents twisting and the elasticized ends ensure that

the one-hand operation Triton carabiners remain close-by. Attached to

the harness via the webbing loop using a lark’s foot/girth hitch knot.

Tested to EN 958.

It’s best not to fall on a via ferrata. This is why EDELRID developed the

Via Ferrata Belay Kit. The Via Ferrata Belay Kit is the optimal belay sa-

fety set to bring up children or beginners on steep or technical sections

of a via ferrata. It consists of a belay plate with automatic self-braking

and a 15m single rope with sewn termination at both ends Comes in a

practical packsack and stows easily in any rucksack.

An ultralight and robust “soft shell” helmet weighing only 280 grams

that provides optimal protection from impact and falling stones. Thanks

to its revolutionary Wing-Fit system and rear adjustment dial the Shield

II fits all sizes and guarantees outstanding safety and comfort. During

transport the cradle folds into the helmet, significantly reducing pack

size. The Airflow system will help you keep a cool head; its large side

vents prevent heat build-up and ensure a constant supply of fresh air

on long alpine routes. Thanks to its innovative closure system under the

ear, the chin and neck area remains free from buckles. With four robust

head torch clips.

The Zodiac is a lightweight and extremely stable hybrid helmet with

an ABS shell and EPS foam liner. The Wing-Fit system with rear ad-

justment dial allows easy adjustment and an individual fit. Thanks to

its innovative closure system under the ear, the chin and neck area re-

mains free from buckles. The cradle folds into the helmet, significantly

reducing pack size. With integrated head torch clips.

The Targa is a hybrid type helmet with an ABS shell and an EPS foam

liner. Easy adjustment (from 52 to 62 cm) and low weight (370 g) make

the Targa not just a great climbing helmet but also ideal for ropes course

and instructional use. The cradle is hinged to fold inward making sto-

rage easier. EDELRID Wig model helmet covers are also available to

individualize your helmet or to distinguish groups apart (e.g. course

leaders and pupils). The Targa is available in three colors.

This is, what climbers and alpinists have been dreaming for in a long

time. The Madillo is strong and compact, and due to its small pack size

it can be stowed easily in the backpack. The shell sides slide into the

top and the back folds in, reducing the helmets pack volume by 50%.

Other unique features are the shell made of a high-strength abrasion

and impact-resistant injected material. Three different foam materials

– EPS, EPP and EVA – provide an optimum of comfort and safety. EPS

foam is used in the upper half of the shell as it provides the best shock

absorption, while the sides are made of EVA which is softer, providing a

better and more comfortable fit. The rear panel of the Madillo covers the

back of the neck providing additional protection. The size is adjustable

from 52 to 62 cm, made so by squeezing the rear panel forwards once

the helmet is on your head. A revolutionary helmet to suit everybody’s

needs.

When the Ultralight came on the market in the 1980s, this was probab-

ly the best climbing helmet in the world – and is still a top choice today.

The Ultralight‘s classic shape and sturdy construction makes this hel-

met absolutely ideal for institutional use in places like adventure parks

or climbing schools. Nevertheless, experienced climbers and mountai-

neers appreciate its timeless design and great value for money. It’s no

wonder that this helmet has received so many awards over the years.

Head size 54-60 cm.

The children‘s version of the Ultralight designed specifically for smaller

heads. The Ultralight Junior offers the same safety reserves as the basic

model. It is also equipped with an easy-to-use locking system. Fits head

size 48-58 cm.

The Raven is our top-class shoe pre-destined for all those who expect

the maximum performance (assistance) from their shoe whether boul-

dering or climbing. The combination of an asymmetric, extremely cam-

bered last with our specially developed “green” EDELRID heel strap

allows a progressive load transmission from the heel into the big toe

area. This gives the Raven unparalleled precision when standing on the

smallest of edges or when pulling and hooking on steep routes. The

Raven can be used as a slipper or with hook and loop band thanks to

the unique Slide-Rail® system enabling the removal of the band. The

revolutionary 2-Tension-Heel offers unbeatable hooking performance.

Vibram® XS-Grip sole for the best coefficient of friction. Form and tensi-

on is maintained an upper of synthetic leather.

Designed on the same last as the Raven, the Typhoon is the shoe for

high-end climbing and offers an aggressive, performance-oriented shoe

for demanding boulder problems and sport climbing routes. Thanks to

the redeveloped E-Grip Sole, the Typhoon is amazingly sensitive wi-

thout losing edging stability. The green EDELRID heel strap supports

the transmission of power into the toe box and big toe area to keep your

foot on the rock, while the high-tension heel cup makes even compli-

cated heel hooks child’s play. The upper material combination of soft

natural leather in the rear of the shoe and Lorica synthetic leather in

the toe box area ensures unbeatable comfort and helps to maintain per-

formance over time. The opposing pull straps and neoprene tongue help

the Typhoon fit like a second skin.

The Sigwa combines the Typhoon’s edging stability with the Raven’s

outstanding precision. We’ve made this possible by developing a new,

slightly narrower last with a 4 mm E-Grip Sole. The resulting high-end

shoe delivers outstanding performance. Its aggressive shape delivers

full load transmission onto the tiniest of holds, while the High Tension

Heel makes the most difficult of heel hooks a piece of cake. The natural

leather upper and Lorica synthetic leather toe box deliver outstanding

comfort and maintain form and tension over time.

A perfectly tuned lace up shoe for all climbing situations. The asym-

metric, slightly cambered last offers the right degree of precision, sen-

sitivity and comfort. Whilst the green EDELRID heel strap provides a

progressive power transmission to the toe area, the sensitive midsole

allows “fatigue free” standing on the smallest of edges. Soft uppers of

leather for a perfect fitform and in the toe area of synthetic leather pre-

venting too much stretch. Heel hook performance is optimized with a

high-tension full-rubber heel cup with a sole of tried and tested Vibram®

XS-Grip for the “stick”.

The Tornado is our all-round weapon. Regardless if you are bouldering,

sport climbing or on a multi pitch alpine climb, the Tornado is at home

in all climbing situations. Built on the same last as the Hurricane,

the Tornado offers the perfect symbiosis of precision, sensitivity and

comfort. The two Velcro® straps can be adjusted lengthways and the

large Velcro® patch on the shoe permits variability in positioning of

the straps. The full tensioned rubber heel cap will help you stick the

trickiest of hooks and the Vibram® XS-Grip the smallest edge.

The Reptile is the perfect shoe for beginners, rental programs, traditi-

onalists or those who just want a comfortable shoe. Offering stability

with its straight cut and light asymmetrical form the Reptile is ener-

gy saving: Its strengthened midsole gives increased support for the

“unseasoned” climbing foot or for long routes. The Comfort Tension

Heel provides heel support and the right degree of shoe tension. This

construction combined with all-leather uppers and toe start lacing gi-

ves the Reptile a comfortable and precise fit for all foot forms.

The Blizzard is the most comfortable climbing shoe we’ve ever made.

Its straight cut and asymmetrical form save energy and the reinforced

midsole provides increased support for edging or small footholds. Dou-

ble Velcro® straps enable perfect adjustment and the Comfort Tension

Heel provides just the right amount of heel support and shoe tension.

High-quality natural leather uppers give the Blizzard a precise and

comfortable fit.

The Tempest is a very comfortable straight cut shoe specially developed

for rental use in indoor climbing walls. The tough E Grip sole ensures

the best possible lifespan for the shoe and the green rubber on the toe

wall indicates when the shoe should be resoled. The Three Velcro®

straps and the large opening provide good entry and exit from the shoe.

The clearly visible size disc on the heel improves efficiency in sorting

the shoes and handing out the right size and the clip button on the heel

pull strap helps to keep the pairs together. Full sizes only.

The perfect shoe for the rock stars of tomorrow, the Crocy’s flexible

“hinge“ patch in the heel area of the shoes expands two whole sizes –

advantageous for fast-growing feet. Two Velcro® pull straps assist easy

putting on and fitting of the shoe. The soft sole helps to train coordinati-

on and precision on small holds. Includes a name plate to write a name

and a small surprise!

Classic sandal with EDELRID print. For belaying at the crag, in the gym,

oron the beach. Foamed EVA midsole and abrasion resistant profiled

A product made using strictly regulated

environmentally-friendly processes that

contains no harmful substances.

This is the perfection of our already popular belay station sling. The

adjustable station sling offers for the first time in a sling, adjustability

in the length whatever the situation without having to use additional

equipment. An anchor point is fixed with a carabiner and the belay

ring. The second anchor point is fixed with a carabiner in the large

sling which can then be pulled tight ensuring an even force on the an-

chor points. This is the first time two anchor points can be joined with

an even tension with 22 kN. Other uses include, an adjustable personal

belay point, etrier, or for block sling protection.

The Belay Station Sling Deluxe is the latest innovation from EDELRID.

This innovative belay sling makes it quicker and easier to set up and

manage belays. It has an integrated belay plate instead of a central loop

suitable for bringing up two other climbers independently. When absei-

ling, the belay plate has two separate friction modes. The sewn sling is

made of very strong Tech Web and can also be used as a personal belay

point. The belay plate even doubles as a bottle opener at the end of the

day. What more could you want?

This EDELRID classic is now available with our award-winning Tech

Web webbing. It combines the high-tensile strength of Dyneema® with

the easy and stable knotting characteristics of a polyamide sling. The

ultimate lanyard-type sling for a quick set up and safe back up of your

belay.

Light, thin and still very strong. Perfect for threads. These 8 mm slings

are ideal for all applications where weight and strength come first.

Available in 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 240 cm.

11 mm Dyneema® Slings are the perfect equipment for climbers ha-

ving high demands on their material. These light and strong slings are

available in 60, 120 and 240 cm.

bing unifying the low weight and high-tensile strength of Dyneema®

and the knot stability of polyamide. The Dyneema® core receives a she-

ath of polyamide in a special kernmantle braiding technique allowing

Dyneema® to be knotted safely.

A classic in new colors: Our 16 mm sewn sling is available in 60, 90,

120 and 240 cm length.

Sewn slings (22 kN), made of aramid. Aramid has a significantly higher

breaking strength than conventional slings. The 60 and 120 cm versi-

ons are particularly stiff and perfect for threads. The 30 cm version is

intended for use as Prusik sling and has a particularly soft braiding.

I’ve always been passionate about alpine climbing; it’s how I got into

climbing in the first place! The experience of being surrounded by

nature, the mental challenge, the summits ... used to mean more to

me than climbing 20 m sport routes. We would walk past boulders

shaking our heads. Due to a knee injury, I was forced to stop clim-

bing for several years. Two years ago I felt the urge to climb alpine

routes again. I noticed that I forget my sport routes were pretty

quickly, while experiences in the mountains remained with me. Ha-

ving said, that sport climbing does of course have its own particular

appeal.

My preparations were not exactly ideal. An injured finger put me out

of action for four months. I was working and studying for my teacher

training qualification for mechanical engineering, but managed to

find time to train three times a week at the wall. From August of the

previous year until I travelled to the Cima Ovest, I only climbed 5

times on rock outside. My mental training for the “biggest route on

earth” fell by the wayside somewhere in the boulder room.

Both routes are demanding in similar ways. The crux sections in

Bellavista are protected only by pitons. Panaroma is bolted, but with

long run outs up to 12 meters. Panaroma is physically harder. It has

a long 60 m (10+) pitch followed by a strenuous 15 m (11-) crux sec-

tion. Bellavista has most of its difficult climbing concentrated in just

one pitch. Both routes require good conditions. If warm air comes in

from the valleys and condenses on the cold North Face, there is no

chance of a full ascent. Unlike Panaroma, I was unlucky on Bellavi-

sta. The route was wet the whole time, apart from two days. This of-

ten made the bold climbing on the entry pitches (graded 7-9) pretty

dangerous.

My good friend Wolfgang Widder, not only did he belay me, he also

climbed a lot Bellavista himself. We were able to motivate and learn

from each other. It was really important that we got on well. This is

crucial when you are both tired and hungry and stuck at a belay up

in the wall.

Respect Alex! His first ascent, alone and in winter represents a far

greater achievement than repeating the route. It’s amazing to think

that he had the vision to climb straight through such a huge roof.

The whole experience. Being out in nature, the walk in at sunrise,

sitting out storms under Baur’s Roof (the huge roof on the Cima

Ovest), these are experiences that remain with you for the rest of

your life. And then there’s the sporting element. I really relish wor-

king to perfect the combination of power, technique, coordination

and mental strength.

My personal milestones are my first 8a Have fun and top and my first

9a Mongo. I was particularly pleased with my redpoint of Grandi

Guesti (9a). Alongside Bellavista und Panaroma, my climbing trip to

China was an amazing experience.

Due to time constrictions, I mainly train at the wall. On a typical day,

I get home from work at 17:00. After a short power nap, I go for a cup

of coffee and a piece of cake at “Two and a half man”. Then I train

from half past seven until closing time.

I never liked comparing myself to others, I prefer to compete against

myself. Routes are constants. Come back 2 years later and they are

still exactly the same. I want to raise my own standards, not compete

against others. Any anyway, routes on rock are far more interesting

than competitions.

It would have to be the Schleier Waterfall in Tyrol, Austria.

I want to climb more tough alpine routes, either repeat or first as-

cent. When it comes to sport climbing, I want to repeat Weiße Rose

(9a+). And as for bouldering, Unendliche Geschichte (Fb8b+) heads

up my tick list. I would also really like to travel to South Africa.

Difficult one. I really like the Creed harness. And I swear by the new

clothing, such as the Pants and the McLane soft shell jacket. My fa-

vourite rope is the Swift.

This quickdraw set is designed just like the Pure Dyneema® Set with

the innovative 12 mm Tech Web quickdraw sling but utilizes the Pure

wire carabiners. Due to the wire gates, this set reduced the whip-lash

effect and the gates won’t freeze up. This quickdraw comes with the

Antitwist for the lower carabiner.

The set uses the new Pure Keylock carabiners and innovative

EDELRID Tech Web in a 12 mm quickdraw sling with Dyneema® core

and a protective polyamide sheath. It comes with the Antitwist for the

lower carabiner.

A quickdraw set with bent and straight wire carabiners from the Pure

family. The wire gate minimizes the whip-lash effect and won’t freeze

up in winter. A 16 mm polyamide sling including Antitwist joins the

Pure carabiners in a trustworthy quickdraw set.

Classic set with keylock offering the best possible handling when clip-

ping. The Antitwist on the integrated 16 mm Polyamide sling prevents

twisting and keeps the lower karabiner in place at all times when un-

clipping bolts and gear and helps prevent undue abrasion at this point

of the sling.

A sturdy all-round carabiner for all climbing styles. The bent and

straight gate versions have a Keylock closure. Also available in bent

and straight wiregate configuration.

Our lightest quickdraw set. A combination of two very lightweight Mis-

sion wire gate carabiners and a very thin but ultra-strong 8 mm Dynee-

ma® draw reduces weight to a minimum and includes Antitwist fixing

for the lower biner. The 60 cm version is ideal for straightening rope

lines on tricky alpine routes.

The Antitwist fixes the lower carabiner and sling preventing unwanted

rotation of the biner during use. Available for 8, 11 and 16 mm quick-

draw slings.

Weighing in at just 25 g, the Mission is one of the lightest carabiners

in its class. Despite its minimal weight, the Mission is very robust with

breaking strength values of 23-8-7 kN. This has been made possible

by combining shape and functionality and removing any excesses. The

large gate opening of 20 mm exceeds that of many larger carabiners

and provides excellent clipping comfort. The ideal carabiner for alpine

tours where material weight reduction and maximum safety reserves

are essential.

An ultra light set for ascents at the limit where every gram counts. The

Catch 22 Set is a combination of the ultra light Catch 22 straight gate

ant the Catch 22 bent gate, joined by an 8 mm Dyneema® sling with

integrated antitwist. Weight has been reduced to an absolute minimum.

The keylock system on the gate ensures perfect handling when clipping

and unclipping the karabiners.

The Catch Wire Set is a combination of straight and bent wire gate cara-

biners with a 11 mm Dyneema® sling and integrated anti-twist rubber

fixing.

The Catch is an extremely lightweight and shapely high-end carabiner.

A special hot forging technique allows for the optimal use of material

while at the same time creating an unrivalled surface finish. The large

keylock gate opening offers easy clipping und unclipping and the large

radius is particularly kind to ropes. The Catch is available as a straight

or bent gate.

An object of desire: The Catch Wire is an extremely strong wire gate

carabiner from the Catch family. Thanks to its special hot forging tech-

nique and H profile, an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio is achie-

ved – for such a light carabiner, the Catch Wire‘s maximum breaking

strength ratings of 24-7-10 kN speak for themselves. The large gate ope-

ning offers the best possible clipping and unclipping, while the large

body radius is particularly kind to ropes.

The latest new innovation from EDELRID. A new generation of HMS

carabiner with automatic gate closure that makes it possible to keep

weight down to a minimum. The Keylock gate ensures good handling.

These characteristics, combined with its compact form make the Strike

Slider ideal for alpine climbing on routes where every gram counts.

A compact HMS carabiner with a wire gate to fix it to the harness. The

carabiner is held in place while belaying to prevent cross-loading. The

tried and trusted Keylock gate ensures good handling when clipping or

unclipping.

With a very compact carabiner body, low weight, small form and Key-

lock gate, the HMS Strike is ideal for alpine climbing. Available with

screw or twistlock gate.

The new EDELRID HMS series’ attractiveness comes from its low weight

and shapely design. The special hot forging technique gives the Ma-

gnum the best stability and strength with minimal weight. The large

design means all belay methods and belay devices can be used easily.

Features include wide gate opening, large radius for the rope and Key-

lock closing system. The Magnum is available with the following gate

closing systems: Screw, Twist or Triple lock.

Small screwgate carabiner with Keylock gate.

Extemely robust indoor set made up of a wire gate stainless steel ca-

rabiner (with optional metal pin to ensure against twisting, sideways

loading or theft), a 10 mm Maillon Rapide quicklink „upper carabiner,”

and joined with either a 12 or 16 cm 26/16 small wide sling.

This HMS carabiner is made of hardened steel and is ideal for top ropes.

Especially useful in outdoor centers, ropes courses, climbing gyms or

for other uses where a regular strain is put on the carabiner.

This ingenious piece of equipment is the first screwable swivel and the

most versatile connecting element on the market. The Conecto’s tech-

nology allows swift and easy replacement of components like energy

absorbers or tie-in loops. Ideal for use in work safety, self-rescue sy-

stems or for hauling – simply unscrew it, change the components and

then screw the swivel back up (torque 4 Nm). The Conecto Swivel has

a breaking strength of 15 kN and is certified according to the EN Stan-

dard 354.

A compact ball-like swivel of minimal weight and size. Turns reliably

even under heavy loads and prevents the twisting of ropes when the

load is turning on its own axis. Certified according to the EN standard

354.

The ultimate connecting ring for use in safety systems or as a rappelling

ring on belay stations. The Conecto’s design permits easy replacement

of components like energy absorbers or tie-in loops by simply unscre-

wing, changing out the parts, then screwing the ring back up (torque 6

Nm). The Conecto Ring has a breaking strength of 15 kN and is certified

according to the EN Standard 354.

The Elevator ascenders are light, strong and comfortable in the hand

– ideal for caving or big wall use. Like its namesake, this smart tool ma-

kes ascending on the rope (8.0 - 13.0 mm) as easy as taking the elevator.

With its ball bearing rollers, the Rail is ideal for traversing in ropes

courses. For use either on steel cables (up to 12 mm) or static rope (up

to 13 mm). Max. load 25 kN.

A practical aluminium pulley with a maximum working load of 30 kN

(15 kN in both directions). The Turn pulley is ideal for use in rescue

systems and on tensioned rope ways.

Z-shaped Pegs. Available in two sizes, 60 and 100 mm.

Stainless-steel “Bühler” type bolt with angled upper side to prevent self-

unclipping of quick draws. Includes compatible two-component adhe-

sive cartridge.

Cliffhanger with sewn-in, detachable sling. Available in three sizes.

Rounded stainless steel bolt, large enough for two carabiners.

An ingenious little bolt hanger you take with to place over bolt heads

(up to 10 mm).

A universal solid, multi-featured aluminium device for belaying and

rappelling on all ropes from 7.8 to 10.5 mm. Feeds well when belaying

the leader and can be used to independently bring up to 2 seconds at

the same time when climbing in a team of three. The geometric design

of the Kilo Jul gives you two braking speeds and the small eyelet allows

the unit to be released with a carabiner when bringing up your partner.

The Jul is a beautifully styled single rope belay device with a unique

two-component construction. The body is made of high-quality stainless

steel offering the best possible abrasion resistance with minimal heat

conduction. The synthetic cover prevents the annoying „jingling“ on

the harness and protects your skin from burning after a prolonged be-

lay or rappel session. An ideal belay device for sport and gym climbing

using ropes between 8.9 and 10.5 mm.

Since its introduction in 2005, the Eddy has established a reputation as

a safe and easy to use semi-automatic belay device predominantly for

sport and indoor climbing. The Eddy is simple and safe, easy to thread,

with the rope logically following the rope flow. A controlled descent

with an emergency brake system eliminates the „panic pull“ syndrome

which can lead to serious accidents. The Eddy provides maximum sa-

fety whether top roping or lead climbing with easy paying out of rope

to the leader. Must be used with both hands. For use with single ropes

from 9.0 to 11.0 mm diameters.

The Zap-O-Mat is a semi-automatic belay tool based on the tubestyle

belay device. It is considered semi-automatic as the belayer does not

have to touch the device to pay out rope evenly and quickly. The bra-

king resistance of the Zap-O-Mat can be adjusted for rope size, new or

old ropes, or to climbing style. When the green button is pressed in,

rope can be given out faster. When the button is released, the spring

in the handle is relaxed and the bolt has less resistance, increasing the

braking force. The Zap-O-Mat‘s integrated carabiner arrest increases

the braking power. The Zap-O-Mat is useful when working routes, top

roping or when the climber is heavier than the belayer. The unit doesn’t

have to be removed from the harness to thread the rope, increasing sa-

fety and eliminating the risk of being dropped and lost on long routes.

Useable for all single ropes from 8.9 to 10.5 mm.

A classic redesigned sturdy piece of equipment. No further explanation

required. For universal usage such as rappelling and belaying.

A traditional piece of hardware in a modern and highly functional

design. The open V-form in the neck allows for exact and controlled

braking, and the synthetic insert holds the carabiner in place while

belaying, preventing adverse horizontal forces from being transferred

to the spine of the carabiner. At just 56 g, the Terence is one of the

lightest in its class.

plate and ergonomically-shaped shoulder straps provide a secure, po-

sitive carry without restricting freedom of movement. The Mirage has

a spacious, detachable lid compartment, Hypalon® ice tool attachment

loops/points and an integrated packing loop. The variable compressi-

on system with Clip Fix buckles also offers easy attachment for larger

items such as skis and or camping mat. The Mirage’s modular compo-

nents and its padded waist belt can be removed for easier hauling in

longer alpine routes and big walls.

The 35 litre model has an extra 10 litres of capacity, perfect for a slee-

ping bag or small tent.

A full capacity rope bag with plenty of space for all your gear. The in-

tegrated tarp even has a carpet for cleaning your shoes on. Two side

Ingenious. The Caddy is quite simply a revolutionary rope bag designed

to keep things simple. The rope is housed in a flexible cylinder in the

middle of the tarp to prevent knots and tangles. At the end of the day,

simply lift the tarp at the four, tie-in corner loops and the rope slides

straight back into the cylinder. Equipped with padded shoulder straps.

We hope you never need this item of equipment but you should never

be without it. In an emergency there is everything you need from small

bandages to larger bandaging material for bigger wounds and other

first-aid items. This is all contained in a watertight bag with roll top

and waistband.

EDELRID’s dry bags offer complete waterproof protection for your

equipment. The easy to use roll-top closure and tough tarpaulin type

material protects your gear even in the wettest and dirtiest conditions.

The dry bags come in four sizes – size small at just 1.6 l, and the mid-

sized 5 l models feature eyelets for attaching to a harness or back pack.

The larger bags are 20 and 35 l respectively, and come with a detachable

shoulder strap and D-rings that can be used to secure the bag with a

padlock when it is closed. For a better overview of the contents, the 5,

20 and 35 l bags have a window on the side. With sufficient air inside,

all four of the bags float.

Watertight transport sack made from extremely tough seam-welded po-

lyester featuring the trusted roll-top closing system. The Transit comes

in 3 sizes from 45 to 114 l. These bags are so big that what doesn’t fit in

frankly doesn’t need to go. Transit series bags are ideal for expeditions,

big walls or boat trips, and with the roll top and D-rings they can be

closed with a padlock or cable tie. With sufficient air inside, all three

of the bags float.

Valuable gear is protected from dirt and moisture with these strong and

watertight gear bags. The practical design with hand grips ease hand-

ling and storage regardless if you’re packing a car or a canoe. Supplied

An ingenious idea!! This patented tent roof transforms your Crux crash pad into an all-weather traveling luxury

covered bed for 1 to 2 persons! The self-standing dome form is wind stable and is quickly put up. The single wall

construction made out of siliconized rip-stop nylon (30D) provides a tough resilient shell. The two lightweight

aluminium (DAC) tent poles help to reduce weight to a minimum. The side opening and the two apex vents pro-

vide good air circulation and make even the smelliest climbing feet bearable. The Crash Pad Tent is delivered

in a practical stuff sack with tent pegs, guy lines and repair kit.

The compact Sit Start is the perfect launch pad for difficult and awk-

ward boulder starts or as additional support on a larger crash pad. The

practical foot mat in the middle of the pad keeps your shoe soles dry and

clean. The alternating open and closed-cell foam construction makes for

comfortable fall cushioning. Due to its small size and light weight you

can take the Sit Start everywhere.

The Mantle is our all-around folding pad. With a thickness of 10 cm and

the sandwich construction utilizing two different foams, the Mantle of-

fers optimal cushioning and absorption properties. The outer material

is strong ballistic nylon making for a very robust and water-repellent

shell. The two halves can be zipped together either on the long side (120

x 115 cm / 46.8 x 44.9 inches), or on the end (230 x 60 cm / 89.7 x 23.4

inches), which makes this pad ideal for traverses. Thanks to its modu-

lar design and hedonistic level of padding, the Mantle also doubles as

a luxury camping mat or guest bed. The Mantle comes complete with

foot mat, sturdy shoulder straps, indestructible aluminum buckles and

the Sit Start pad.

An uncompromising crash pad for maximum safety and cushioning.

With a surface area of 140 x 115 cm (54.6 x 44.9 inches) the Dead Point

is one of the biggest taco-style pads on the market. The seamless taco

design provides optimal fall protection, and the layered construction of

varying densities of shock absorbing foam makes this the ideal landing

spot for bold boulders. Features include side straps to allow you to store

all your other gear inside the pad, shoulder straps, foot mat and the Sit

Start launch pad.

The Crux is the ultimate mega crash pad for soft landings and scary

highballs, as its four-layered construction of open and closed-cell foam

offers exceptional shock absorption. The outer material is strong bal-

listic nylon making a very robust and water-repellent shell, and the

EDELRID foot mat keeps your shoe soles clean. Despite its huge size

(210 x 115 x 10 cm / 85.7 x 47 x 4 inches) the Crux is a lightweight (8.4

kg), and its comfortable carrying system allows you to transport it to

every boulder with ease. Of course, the Crux also doubles as a luxury

sleeping mat after a hard day’s bouldering.

We are pleased to announce that we are the first rope company world

wide to successfully certify our ropes under the stringent bluesign®

standards. This Standard Requires that all input streams – from raw

materials, to chemical components, to water and energy resources –

are analyzed with a sophisticated Input Stream Management pro-

cess. Every component is assessed from the yarn through to the

treatment process and receives a rating based on its eco toxicological

impact eliminating potentially harmful substances before produc-

tion even begins. We have worked on this with a lot of enthusiasm

and passion and can say with a good conscience that our ropes are

clean. Further information can be found under www. bluesign.com.

The newest manufacturing technology and a highly elaborate fi-

nishing process are the characteristics of the Pro Line. It unites mi-

nimal weight and diameters with technical advances and superior

handling. This makes the Pro Line your ideal partner for pushing

the limits when every gram counts. Pro Line’s advantage lies in the

new Pro Shield finishing process, one of the newest developments

from EDELRID.

The Dry Line is EDELRID’s ideal all-around rope series. Minimal

weight, high strength and durability are all perfectly balanced. Ro-

pes treated with the Dry Shield finish are resistant to water, dust

and dirt. The Dry Line is the only choice when it comes to choosing

a rope for a multiple of activities.

The Sports Line has become the choice of sport climbing champions.

The double-braid construction creates a particularly tight and

smooth sheath which is very abrasion resistant and the Thermo

Shield treatment provides the famous EDELRID handling characteri-

stics. Those who have tried these ropes once have become perma-

nent, convinced users. Anyone searching for a rope that will be wor-

ked hard, the Sports Line is the right choice.

Proven EDELRID quality and excellent value for money describes the

Entrance Line. The sturdy construction of the Entrance Line makes

this rope range a good companion for those starting to climb in and

outdoors.

With the Pro Shield finish every single core and sheath yarn is cove-

red with a synthetic fluoropolymer coating that is stable and non-

toxic. The microscopic (10-9 m) fluoropolymer particles are bonded

to the yarns by an electro-chemical process forming an impermeable

protective layer. This both reduces the friction between the individu-

al yarns and increases the sliding properties of these yarns, which

substantially improves the rope’s loading properties. This helps the

rope to withstand the external forces (falls) exerted upon it during

climbing. Additionally, the rope is well protected against moist and

dirty conditions.

Dry Shield is a chemical finish for the sheath yarns. The finish is

resistant to washing- out, providing a long lasting oleo and hydro-

phobic coating that keeps water, oily substances and dirt off the fi-

bers. Together with the Thermo Shield treatment, the Dry Shield

optimizes handling, abrasion resistance and performance. This all

helps to improve the lifespan of the rope.

EDELRID’s specially developed sheath construction whereby one

yarn is crossed by two. The result is a very tight, smooth and flexible

sheath structure. This construction method has become synonymous

with a particularly high abrasion resistance typical of ropes with

this sheath.

The Thermo Shield treatment has been in use at EDELRID for more

than 20 years. Thermo Shield is a thermal stabilizing process for the

rope that gives it the famous EDELRID handling characteristics and

feel. The rope undergoes a heat treatment cure to stabilize and har-

monize the individual yarns. This treatment cannot be washed out

and ensures a supple rope throughout its working life.

A new, patented EDELRID process to manufacture bi-colour ropes. The

braiding spools are changed halfway through the braiding process to

create two distinctly different sheath patterns. Each rope length has a

different colour. The DuoTec process ensures permanent marking in

middle of rope and a distinctive design. The differently-patterned rope

halves are easily identifiable – very useful when abseiling, determi-

ning how much rope you have left, or butterfly coiling.

With EDELRID’s Laminate Technology the outer material, the load

bearing fabric and the inner material are all heat sealed together in

a lamination process. This permits a much better load distribution

throughout the materials, making thick foam and mesh padding un-

necessary. The advantages are a weight saving, thin harness that

offers maximum movement and the best possible comfort.

When putting the harness on the webbing side slides into the E-

Turn “tunnel” creating a complete circle of waist band. Even under

load this cannot separate providing better harness stability and in-

creased comfort. An additional advantage is the buckle is easier to

close as you pull across your body and not behind you. The webbing

end can also be neatly tucked away whilst climbing.

With the Slide-Rail-System® you can individually adjust your gear

loops or remove them completely. This could be necessary when, for

example climbing with a back pack, on alpine tours or during competi-

tions. Other useful items can be fitted to the harness using the Slide-

Rail-System®, for example: chalk bag, gear clip etc..

The Triad System is a sewing technique allowing the kettle webbing

of the leg loop to be sewn in such a way that it lies flat on the body.

The Triad Stitching distributes the load forces evenly throughout the

leg loop, resulting in a much better sit and wearing comfort.

Hytrel®-Protector increases harness longevity.

The Radical Last is EDELRID’s high performance last. Acutely asym-

metric with a lot of camber and a strong heel pull, the Radical Last

guarantees a progressive transmission of power from the foot to the

toe box area of the shoe. This in turn provides the perfect pull on

overhangs and a peerless precision on the smallest of edges.

The Performance Last offers maximum precision on small edges.

The asymmetric form and the heel pull create a medium camber,

resulting in a sensitive shoe. The Performance Last is suitable for

wide feet.

EDELRID’s Comfort Last offers the most comfortable fit possible

with a minimum of asymmetry and no camber. This is a shoe last

design where comfort is put before precision.

E-Grip: Edelrid’s robust and sturdy rubber sole that has been opti-

mized to provide durability. Formulated for comfortable design clim-

bing shoes.

2-Tension-Heel: A revolutionary heel construction applying two rub-

ber straps, each with a different level of tension. Tension is thereby

applied to the whole heel and not (as with conventional shoes) just on

the Achilles tendon. The result is an unbeatable power transmission to

the toe box and a heel fit that helps to stick the most difficult hooks.

High-Tension-Heel: A full rubber heel cup construction that is ideal

for the needs of today’s boulderers. The anatomically formed heel

cup provides a superior fit and the green EDELRID tension strap

builds a perfect and long-lasting camber, while at the same time pre-

venting the shoe from coming off when heel hooking.

Comfort-Tension-Heel: A full rubber heel cup with a moderate tensi-

on strap offering optimal protection and a snug fit to the heel.

Vibram® XS-Grip Sole: Developed in 2006, this rubber compound

offers a level of adhesion that is 30% better than previous Vibram®

soles. XS-Grip rubber guarantees stable and excellent performance

whether smearing on the smallest of edges in hot summers, or clim-

bing during cold winters.
