Hummingbird Eco Dry - 9.2mm

Eco Dry is a water-repellent treatment applied to climbing ropes that is environmentally friendly, avoiding harmful chemicals like PFCs. This is crucial for climbers who want to minimize their impact on natural climbing areas while ensuring their gear remains effective in wet conditions.

Thermo Shield technology improves the flexibility and durability of climbing ropes, ensuring they remain supple over time. This makes the rope easier to handle and use, which is especially beneficial for climbers who need reliable performance in various conditions.

Static elongation refers to how much a rope stretches under a steady weight, with the EDELRID Hummingbird Eco Dry stretching 6% under load. Understanding this helps climbers gauge how much the rope will stretch when they are hanging on it, which is vital for safety and performance during climbs.

Dynamic elongation measures how much a rope stretches when subjected to a sudden force, like a fall. The EDELRID Hummingbird Eco Dry has a dynamic elongation of 31%, allowing it to absorb energy during a fall, which reduces the impact on the climber and gear, enhancing safety.

UIAA falls indicate the number of falls a rope can endure before it is deemed unsafe. The EDELRID Hummingbird Eco Dry can withstand 8 UIAA falls, which signifies its durability and reliability. Knowing this rating helps climbers choose a rope that can handle challenging situations without compromising safety.

Eco Dry provides water resistance without harmful chemicals, while Thermo Shield enhances the rope's flexibility and durability. Together, they ensure that the climbing rope remains effective in wet conditions and easy to handle, making it a top choice for climbers who prioritize both environmental responsibility and performance.
