Edelweiss Performance: Light on the Back, Small in the Pack
After more than twenty months of climbing with Edelweiss Performances, I feel pretty qualified in my judgment of the rope. The Performance works well on ice, but not as great as twins. Sport cragging with it is fine. (One should be aware of its elasticity and GriGri crazed partners may be confused by its diameter.) Where this rope really stands out is on alpine rock. When a single rope is required, and the approach cannot be done in sandals, the Edelweiss Performance is my choice. It's light on the back, small in the pack, and in my experience an actual lifesaver when carried as a ""just in case"" measure.
Pros: Light, Thin,
Cons: No Middle Mark, Cost, Squirrelly
