Why We Like the Starling Protect Pro Dry Climbing Rope

When venturing into alpine terrain, encountering sharp edges is not uncommon. That's why we always make sure to bring along the Starling Protect Pro Dry Climbing Rope when exploring the Uinta Mountains. This rope is equipped with Edelrid's advanced Protect technology, which provides a robust sheath without compromising the rope's dynamic properties. As a result, we benefit from exceptional cut resistance while still enjoying a gentle and secure catch.
