The high-performance, lightweight Edelweiss Laser ARC bi-pattern rope is ideal for sending routes at the sport crag or climbing trad on a fairweather alpine adventure.

  • Advanced Rope Control (ARC) features a sheath pattern that changes at the midpoint to ease rope management when top roping and rappelling
  • Everdry treatment to the sheath of the rope reduces water absorption to keep the rope light and pliable
  • Perdur coating on the sheath resists wear, improving longevity and handling characteristics
  • Kernmantle construction combines durable braided sheath and shock-absorbent core for protection from fall forces
  • Meets or exceeds UIAA tests for falls, impact force and elongation

The Laser ARC is a bi-pattern rope that changes weaves at the halfway point so you always know when you've reached it.

Good Stuff

Feels Great. A lot lighter than my 10.5mm rope. I got a 50m Version and have it for Sierra Climbs. Would probably get this again if I got it for the price I paid. I have only use it sparingly, but It seems to hold up well. Even TR'd with it once.

Great Rope!
