Edelweiss Onsight Arc Climbing Rope - 9.9mm

As the name implies, the Edelweiss Onsight Arc 9.9mm EverDry Rope is designed for pushing your onsight limits on both alpine and sport terrain. Sometimes onsighting demands skipping bolts or running out the gear placements — not that we recommend doing either of these. The Onsight Arc has all the features you need in this scenario. It is lightweight and lithe for low drag, easy handling, and fast clips. The Arc differential weave pattern allows you and your belayer to easily identify the middle of the rope — information that is vital to safety when linking pitches and lowering. The Perdur and EverDry coatings increase durability by up to 33% and significantly improve water resistance respectively. Both qualities are vital to your safety and confidence when you need to really go for it on the sharp end. Comes in 60m and 70m lengths.

Bottom Line: If you insist on putting it on the line, choose the Onsight Arc 9.9mm for safety, confidence, and handling.

I know that the gri-gri is only rated for 10mm but will it work for this rope? Even if it goes through quickly like previously mentioned, will it lock off if the climber falls?

I've used Grigris on ropes down to 9.8. It still locks off on a fall just as well as it does on a bigger rope, the concern is that it's a bit harder to control speed on lowering. As long as you have a solid brake hand and you pay attention, you'll be fine.

The Onsight Arc is a great rope. I've taken what I thought should be a hard fall on it, and surprisingly it was a super soft catch. it seems to coil nicely, and doesn't get tangled up in my belay devices. Although, i will say when i first started on this rope, I was using an old ATC, and it slipped a bit. But no prob. I use an ATC guide now, and sometimes the XP, and it holds just fine. I've also run it over some pretty coarse granite, thinking i really tore the rope up, but after close inspection, I realized the Perdure coating really held the rope up well. This rope also slides through biners smoothly, is light weight, and clips easily. The ONLY regret I have, is that I didn't fork out the extra $$ and get a 70m rope. Um... also feels a tad bit bouncy on rappells, but maybe that's just how it's supposed to feel. OH, one more thing!! the color on here looks off. My rope is a bit darker than the pic, more of a deeper burgundy red - not orangish. BTW, this site has AWESOME customer service!!! Love doing business with them!
