The Edelrid Apus Pro Dry 7.9mm is an alpine climbing rope that combines outstanding strength, usability and handling with a slight diameter.

The to-the-core dry treatment process and aforementioned features make the Apus the go-to climbing rope for year-round alpine and high mountain adventures.

Edelrid’s Pro Dry treatment provides a near-impregnable barrier to dirt and water, improving performance in the field as well as increasing the overall life span of the rope. The Thermoshield process also massively improves the handling properties and cannot be washed out, ensuring the rope remains supple throughout its working life.
