Half/twin rope with far greater cut resistance than standard ropes
Ropes are often exposed to sharp edges—especially when used in alpine terrain. As a result, Edelrid's well-established STARLING half rope now uses their proprietary Protect technology to offer far greater cut resistance. When manufacturing Protect ropes, the sheath is strengthened using a special processing method involving aramid fibers without impairing the rope's dynamic properties.
