Climbing rope EDELRID Tommy Caldwell Eco Dry DT 9.6 mm × 60 m, neon green

Dynamic single climbing rope EDELRID Tommy Caldwell Eco Dry DT 9.6 mm × 60 m in neon green is a mid-thickness rope designed for sport and alpine climbing. With a 9.6 mm diameter and a 60 m length, it balances low weight and durability for lead climbing, top-rope use and multi-pitch routes. The Eco Dry sheath treatment reduces water uptake and dirt absorption while preserving the rope's handling and dynamic properties, making it suitable for varied mountain and crag conditions.

Advantages

The rope’s 9.6 mm diameter provides a compromise between lightness and long-term abrasion resistance, offering easier handling during belays and smoother rope management on multi-pitch routes. Eco Dry treatment on the sheath improves water and dirt repellence, which helps maintain consistent performance in damp or dirty environments and reduces sheath swelling. The rope’s dynamic characteristics deliver controlled elongation under load for fall absorption and secure catching during lead climbing.

Suitable for

• Sport climbing on single-pitch routes
• Top-rope setups at indoor walls and outdoor crags
• Multi-pitch climbs where reduced weight and manageable diameter are preferred
• Alpine routes with mixed rock and moderate exposure to moisture

Key specifications

• Rope type: dynamic single rope
• Diameter: 9.6 mm
• Length: 60 m
• Sheath treatment: Eco Dry (water- and dirt-repellent sheath)
• Color: neon green
• Application: lead climbing, top-rope, multi-pitch and alpine climbing

How to use

Before each session inspect the rope visually and by touch for cuts, excessive wear, core exposure or soft spots. For single-pitch sport climbing, tie a secure figure-eight follow-through knot to the climber’s harness and use a certified belay device. On multi-pitch routes use proper rope management techniques such as flaking and coiling to avoid tangles; employ a backup knot when rappelling. After wet or dirty outings, clean the rope according to the manufacturer’s care instructions and allow it to dry fully away from direct heat and sunlight before storage.

Usage recommendations

Use this 9.6 mm rope for climbs where a balance of weight, handling and durability is required. Avoid using a mid-thickness rope for heavy-handed belaying styles over sharp edges without additional protection, and retire the rope if it shows signs of core damage, severe sheath abrasion, or any soft spots after a significant fall or impact.
