The BIRDLIME 1R is the first synthetic climbing rope to be made from renewable bio-based raw materials, therefore representing a further pioneering achievement by EDELRID with regard to responsible climbing equipment. More than 40% of the rope is made from castor-oil-based material, i.e. from a raw material made from renewable components. By employing this renewable resource, we reduce (1R) our usage of fossil raw materials and show that polyamide based on renewable raw materials can be used even when manufacturing personal protective equipment. With a 9.8 mm diameter and Thermo Shield treatment, the BIRDLIME 1R is a robust all-round rope for versatile use. It presents a further option for all those who value responsible equipment.

EDELRID technologies
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. ...
3D Lap Coil
3D LAP COIL: 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 thoughtout design of the packaging provided with every EDELRID rope, it has now ...
