8.2mm Starling Protect Pro 200m 2xDry
Description
Ropes are often exposed to sharp edges—especially when used in alpine terrain. As a result, our well-established STARLING half rope now uses our Protect technology to offer far greater cut resistance. When manufacturing our Protect ropes, the sheath is strengthened using a special processing method involving aramid fibers without impairing the ropes’ dynamic properties.
- Thermo Shield treatment for perfect handling
- Long-lasting water-repellent and dirt-resistant, thanks to the Pro Dry finish
- Water absorption less than 2% as per UIAA Water Repellent Test
- 3D lap coiling enables instant use without tangles
- Higher sheath content and aramid processing for increased cut resistance under load, e.g. over sharp edges

I'm no sponsored athlete or ambassador for Edelrid—just a fan. I've climbed on bunches of their ropes and the Starling Protect is the latest. It will be my go-to rope for long alpine routes here in Chamonix. Having two independent rope lines going, both with double cut-resistance, seems like a great idea. The Starling strikes me as an ideal rope for Sierra Range granite, Vegas adventure or winter-mixed climbing—great for any time you want a burly, safer, quality cord.
