Edelrid Swift Pro Dry Climbing Rope - 8.9mm for Sale, Reviews, Deals and Guides

My go to multipitch rope, but I also love the 80m for long pitches in Indian Creek.

Check out this awesome video showing what goes into the production of Edelrid ropes!

Super lightweight, flexible, and a nice long 80 m of skinny goodness. This is your sending rope. I'd be a little nervous on sharp rope. I also wouldn't recommend it as a work horse for projecting routes or top roping. But for long approaches or routes within your limit (or that you've already worked), it's great!

My brother's review: This rope was awesome. Specifically purchased for a trip to Greece to help meet weight requirements for carry on and checked baggage. The 80 meters ended up being necessary for many of the routes we did. The 8.9 mm diameter paired well with the Edelrid Megajul. Super low friction during belay and after being used for a few days it no longer became tangled easily. After climbing some seriously sharp limestone, the sheath showed minimal wear, it seems to have a very durable protective coating. The smaller diameter does seem to get caught easier when pulling the rope but knowing this ahead of time allowed for caution and we were able to pull it every time without any real issues. It’s not the best rope to rappel on due to the dynamic properties and narrow diameter but it got the job done. We mostly topped out and hiked off all the multipitch climbs so it wasn’t a big deal. I’d definitely recommend this rope for sport, trad and alpine ascents. It’s easy to handle, durable and the size and weight minimize rope management difficulty.
