Edelrid Birdlime 1R 9.8mm

Climbers looking for a high-performance sport rope with a lower environmental impact - meet the Edelrid Birdlime 1R. As the first synthetic climbing rope made from renewable bio-based materials, it marks another pioneering step from Edelrid in sustainable gear innovation. Over 40% of its construction comes from castor-oil-based material, significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels while proving that renewable polyamide can meet the rigorous demands of personal protective equipment.

With a 9.8 mm diameter and Thermo Shield treatment, the Birdlime 1R delivers smooth handling, durability, and reliable performance, making it a solid all-rounder for sport, trad, or gym climbing. If you’re committed to both sending hard and treading lightly, this rope is your next go-to.

Key Features:

Thermo Shield: Thermo Shield is the basic treatment that we apply to all our ropes to ensure they have the renowned EDELRID suppleness. The treatment involves a thermal process that perfectly aligns the core and sheath yarns. A special heat treatment relaxes then shrinks the rope’s fibers. This harmonizes the gliding characteristics of the yarns inside the rope, making it supple and compact. The result is the creation of ropes that will neither shrink retrospectively nor quickly become stiff.

3D Lap Coiled: The 3D lap coiling technique makes uncoiling the rope for the first time unnecessary. We extended our production site with a specially developed lap coiling machine that winds up our ropes. In combination with the through-out design of the packaging provided with every EDELRID rope, it has now become super easy to instantly start your climb using your new rope: You do not have to do more than pulling it out! The marking on the rope as well as a detailed description on the packaging additionally ensure that you do things right and can use the full potential of the rope without annoying twisting and tangling.
