EDELRID - Rap Line Protect Pro Dry 6.0mm
Revolutionary accessory rope resistant to cuts and abrasion and with dynamic properties.
The new version of the Rap Line maintains all the characteristics of the Rap Line II: an accessory rope with a dynamic safety reserve, and to these it adds resistance to cuts and abrasions thanks to the aramid inserts on the sock and further improves the lightness: only 29gr / mt of weight !!
Made with a blend of polyamide and high strength aramid, this rope combines the best of the two yarns: the lightness and static nature of the aramid with the energy absorption of the polyamide.
In addition, the Rap Line Protect Pro Dry has a permanent dry treatment that makes it waterproof and resistant to dirt infiltration.
The mix of aramid and polyamide makes the rope very resistant (> 10Kn). The new production technique also makes it very resistant to cutting, a nice advantage in adventure terrain where sharp edges cannot always be avoided.
Accessory ropes are super-thin and light ropes recently increasingly used by the most demanding mountaineers for the advantages they have compared to using double or twin ropes in many situations. The main uses of an accessory rope are:
- To lift the recovery bag along the pitch
- In the case of climbing with a single rope to make long double climbs using the accessory rope together with the single rope
- Ideal for crossings on glaciers and for ski touring
The accessory ropes are generally static ropes, the Rap Line II instead, unlike the other accessory ropes, is dynamic enough to absorb two falls according to the standard regulations if used as a twin rope.
This means that in case of need it is possible to climb using the Rap Line as a twin rope. It also makes it ideal for use in ski mountaineering outings and glacier crossings because it is able to withstand the fall along a slope or in a crevasse without damage.
The Rap Line is super abrasion resistant thanks to the Kevlar reinforced sock. Thanks to this it is very resistant for use with ascenders.
The Rap Line can be useful to be used for climbing in an emergency by tying the two ends and using it as a twin rope, for example to go back to retrieve a rope stuck in the doubles.
Remember that the insurance devices that guarantee the use of a rope of only 6mm in diameter are few, we recommend the specially made Mago 8 Edelrid.

3D Lap Coil
As soon as you find a new EDELRID rope in your hands, all you want to do is start climbing right away. The formation of folds and kinks during unrolling, however, could soon spoil the joy of the new purchase.
From now on, however, this possibility, for all EDELRID strings, belongs only to the past! The new EDELRID 3D Lap Coil technology makes the unwinding operation unnecessary. In fact, we have introduced the new Lap Coiling machine into our production system, which wraps our ropes in a special way. Thanks also to a pack with a well-designed design, starting to climb with the new rope immediately is child's play, since doing it is really easy. The markings on the rope and the detailed description on the package make the operation even simpler: you can therefore start using the rope immediately without annoying twists and twists.
Thermo Shield
Thermo Shield is the standard treatment to which all ropes are subjected to guarantee the unparalleled handling of the ropes EDELRID. This treatment consists of a termico process through which the threads that make up the core and the braid of the rope are perfectly harmonized with each other. Thanks to a special termico treatment, the fibers loosen inside the rope and dilate. In this way, the sliding characteristics inside the rope are standardized, which thus becomes more manageable and compact. The result is ropes that do not shrink or stiffen quickly.
