Edelweiss Curve ARC 9.8 Climbing Rope -
You never liked gravity, anyway.
Edelweiss set out to refine climbing gear performance standards with the Curve ARC 9.8mm Climbing Rope. Tie in below your project with confidence knowing that the Curve's low impact force rating of just 7.8 kN and dynamic elongation of nearly 40% means you'll enjoy a soft fall if gravity winds up getting the best of you. If not, then you'll dance your way up that face without feeling bogged down thanks to its narrow 9.8-millimeter diameter and low rope weight of just 61 grams per meter.

Features:

  • Edelweiss perform 3 concept to make ropes that have improved flexibility, better energy absorption and reduced weight
  • ARC facilitates rope handling when top roping and abseiling
  • A smoother surface does not generate extra heat or braking in the belay system
  • The wear due to abrasion is reduced and the lifetime of the rope extended
  • HD Cover controls thread individually as opposed to in pairs, resulting in a smoother surface of the rope
  • ARC is the concept developed by Edelweiss wherein the sheath design changes at the mid-point

Edelweiss Curve ARC 9.8 Climbing Rope Reviews:

Positive Reviews:

After approx. 15 total pitches one of the red sheath threads began to loop out of the sheath. Backcountry would not exchange the rope straight across for a new one, they offered to return my money. As I purchased the rope during a bi-annual sale, I would have to turn around and pay $45 more in order to get the same rope again. I know that a major competitor of Backcounrty will exchange products (even ropes) straight across for a new one, no questions asked. I contacted the distributor of Edelweiss ropes for the U.S., they are exchanging the rope for a new one. So I will continue to support Edelweiss and the major competitor of Backcountry.

I bought this rope for a two week sport climbing trip on prickly Italian limestone. The rope performed brilliantly. I flaked the rope out three times before climbing on it, since my 20+ years of climbing experience has shown that most brand new ropes get kinky (not in a good way) if you don't. It handles well, is smooth yet feels tough enough to give you confidence to take whippers without wondering about your rope. I haven't had it long enough to know how durable it will be, but so far so great!

Negative Reviews:

This rope began fraying on me by its second day of use. I only used it for lead too! As a rock guide, I have gone through multiple ropes. I have never seen in my 5 years of guiding a rope fray so quick with so little use an virtually no abuse./
