Edelrid Tommy Caldwell Eco Dry DuoTec 9.6mm Dynamic Climbing Rope – Neon Green 70m

Collaborative design for demanding climbs

Designed in close collaboration with professional climber Tommy Caldwell, the Edelrid Tommy Caldwell Eco Dry DuoTec 9.6mm dynamic rope is built for serious ascents. Its higher sheath proportion delivers precise handling and a secure feel on intricate moves, while the vivid neon green hue enhances visibility on crowded routes or dimly lit rock faces. This rope blends performance with practicality for climbers who value control, reliability, and extended rope life.

The Eco Dry finish is PFC-free and aligned with UIAA water-repellency standards. In damp conditions, this coating helps minimize moisture uptake while staying true to responsible manufacturing. The combination of Eco Dry and DuoTec ensures both water resistance and a clearly marked middle section, aiding rope management during multi-pitch climbs.

Key features at a glance

• Thermo Shield treatment for consistently smooth handling and premium feel right out of the bag
• DuoTec for a permanent middle marking, helping you gauge length and stops quickly
• Long-lasting water-repellent and dirt-resistant performance thanks to the Pro Dry finish
• Water absorption under 2% per UIAA Water Repellent Test for predictable behavior in wet environments
• 3D lap coiling enables instant use without tangles, saving time on belay setups

Real-world use and sensory details

In practice, climbers notice the rope’s confident grip and balanced handling as they clip, move, and route. The midline mark remains visible after extension, supporting efficient rope management on longer pitches. On damp days, the Eco Dry finish helps shed moisture and dirt, while the neon color enhances visibility against rock textures and greenery from a distance.

The rope’s design supports a range of climbing scenarios—from working routes to big-wall adventures—without sacrificing ease of use. Expect smoother pulls, predictable behavior under load, and a profile that still feels responsive during dynamic sequences. While performance can vary with conditions and technique, the data highlights several advantages that many climbers value on challenging days.

Use cases and benefits to consider

• Working routes: precise control during clips and hand placements
• Big-wall climbs: reliable handling on long belay sessions
• Wet environments: reduced water uptake and easier maintenance
• Night or dawn ascents: high-visibility neon green aids tracking and moves
