Why We Like The Edelrid Heron Eco Dry Climbing Rope
The Heron Eco Dry likes to diversify its sends, giving us smooth handling and soft catches from icefalls to landmarks. 100% free of PFCs, this rope's dry finish aligns with our earth-friendly ethos while still giving us the same durability, water-repellency, and dirt-resistance that we expect from Edelrid.

I’ve had this out for 8 weekend trips so far. I will say the rope was a bit gummy the first few outings - raps were a bit hard to predict in the grigri, but that smoothed out quickly - it’s now my groups favorite rope! Handling and clipping is super smooth, catch is soft. Oh, and it has almost no fuzzies even after three days on the sharp granite in the black hills.
