Lowering down a big chunk of vertical real estate is just the beginning. When your rappel ends in a frigid pool, you need to know you've got reliable gear. Feel confident in your trusty Edelweiss Canyon Static 9.6mm Rope. Treated with EverDry, this abrasion-resistant cord won't pick up as much water weight as comparable, untreated models. Unlike many of its peers, the Canyon Static shrinks by a mere 1% in water, and weighs in at just 59 grams per meter.
Bottom Line: Gear as rugged as you.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
Light, bright, and sheds water

I recently purchased a spool of this rope for canyoneering and tested it on the sharp granite of California. POSITIVES: The rope is light, well priced, supple enough for knot tying and easy to grip. It ran fairly fast on rappel for heavier folks as expected for a new rope. It sheds water well which is nice for long days in the canyons. The bright color is easy to see and good for photos too. We didn’t notice much bounce to this rope even given the fact that it is self-titled as “semi-static”. It’s supposed to be rated for a factor 1 fall or lower. It is not a lead climbing rope and we will definitely only be using it for canyoneering. I have seen very little wear so far – we shall see what happens after a few days in Zion. NEGATIVES: If you are new to canyoneering you might want a thicker rope or one that has a more protective sheath. This one has had no issues to date. OTHER NOTES: The manufacturer states you should soak the rope in water and let it dry fully before first use because it will shrink up to 5%.
The description says the rope is treated with EverDry. Does this
The description says the rope is treated with EverDry. Does this make it a dry rope?

Yes read below
All Edelweiss ropes come treated with either Everdry or Super Everdry. The Everdry treatment developed by Edelweiss reduces water absorption by 50% and the Super Everdry by a further 25%. This has some huge advantages:

I live in Appalachia and plan on using this rope for rappels.
I live in Appalachia and plan on using this rope for rappels. Will it stand up to this use or should I find a static rope specifically designed for rappelling?

That is pretty much what this rope is designed for - its static and designed for rappelling.

Why does the product info list canyoneering as the rope's
Why does the product info list canyoneering as the rope's recommended use and not big wall climbing? I need a static line for big wall hauling and ascending.

Because somebody didn't type it in - you could use this as a static line for any purpose - Edelweiss probably just designed it with canyoneering in mind.
