Edelrid Taipan Dry 10.3mm – 60m Lead

The role and life of a rope has changed over the years since Edelrid first invented the kernmantel rope back in 1953. Today, based on the Cobra, German made and engineered Taipan brings exceptional quality and value in an all-around dry-treated workhorse rope.

Thermo Shield. Features Thermo Shield, a thermal stabilizing process that is normally reserved for high-end ropes and gives the rope its famous Edelrid handling characteristics and feel. The rope undergoes a heat treatment cure to stabilize and harmonize the individual yarns. This treatment cannot be washed out and ensures a supple rope throughout its working life.

Dry Shield. The Dry Shield finish is applied post production in an immersion bath of dry treatment material. Both the core and sheath are treated in this way. The finish is resistant to washing-out, providing a long lasting oleo and hydrophobic coating that keeps water, oily substances and dirt off the fibers. Together with the Thermo Shield treatment, Dry Shield optimizes handling, abrasion resistance and performance. This all helps to improve the lifespan of the rope.

Middle Mark. Other price point ropes skimp on things like the middle mark, but that convenience is included along with all the great handling and durability Edelrid is known for.

Bluesign certified environmentally clean. Edelrid is the first rope company world wide to successfully certify under the stringent Bluesign standard. Bluesign certifies that throughout all production procedures, all raw materials from the single fibers through to treatments are vetted, ensuring only the most environmentally friendly processes possible are being used.
