Edelrid is at the forefront in developing innovative ropes, harnesses and accessories for tree climbers.
In 1953, 90 years after the company was born, Edelrid introduced to the world the first Kernmantel rope, revolutionising fall prevention and making Hemp climbing ropes and rope breakage a thing of the past. In 1964, just 11 years later, Edelrid developed the Dynamic rope, the first rope capable of withstanding multiple falls. It became the forerunner of the modern dynamic climbing rope. With this strong history of innovation and development, Edelrid continues to produce some of the world’s best ropes, harnesses and accessories for the vertical world.
Following on from the new TreeRex harnesses reviewed in a previous issue, Edelrid continue to focused their attention on redeveloping their tree care range with the same focus on innovation as well as stepping up their efforts in sustainability. In these pages there some highlight products from the current range.
