The Rope Edge is a unique and visually striking climbing hold made from recycled climbing rope.

This extra-large edge offers a comfortable, large radius edge for easy grip on vertical walls but transforms into a technical challenge when placed on steeper angles. The rope texture adds an interesting dimension to your climbing experience, providing a mix of grip types, from pinches to crimps, depending on how it is oriented.

Ideal for climbers looking to add variety to their wall, the Rope Edge combines functionality with a standout design.

Key Features:

  • Extra-large edge made from recycled climbing rope for a unique texture
  • Versatile grip options suitable for vertical and steep walls
  • Provides a comfortable grip or a challenging pinch and crimp on steeper angles
  • Requires 1 x 2" bolt for secure installation

View on Your Wall

Depending on your MOBILE device and browser you may have the option to view this hold/set in Augmented Reality (AR) on your wall. Will not work on desktop.

How to view in AR:

  1. If you see the link "View on Your Wall", simply tap the link and wait for 1-4 seconds.  Link not visible?  Your device/browser is not AR capable.
  2. When your camera opens and the 3D model of the hold appears, point your camera at a well lit wall and the hold will be "placed" there.  If your camera does not open, your device/browser is not AR capable.
  3. Once placed, you can move your device around the hold, get close, move out, above, below, place your hand close to it, rotate using two fingers.

I have tested using an iphone 12 pro (ios 17.1) and latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari and they work perfect.

TIPS:  

  • Best results seem to be with Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
  • Wall/surface needs to be well lit
  • Seems to help for there to be something else on the wall, like art, light switch, door/window frame close to where you want to place object, needs reference points
  • If hold moves around, then it needs some reference point close by, see point above
  • Brick/textured walls work well
  • Object can be placed on flat surfaces too, but since it is a climbing hold it will be oriented vertically
  • You can rotate the hold with 2 fingers
  • Hopefully soon you will be able to place object on overhanging walls in the correct orientation
  • Not working but you feel it should?  There are so many variables that could prevent it from working, but the code I am using is written by a third party and I have zero control over it.

A Different Hold

13 May 2021
This hold handles like no other hold I have, which alone makes it an interesting addition. On vertical it is a nice big radius edge/jug that is easy to move on/off. When you put it on a steeper angle, or non-horizontal orientation it becomes less about the overall shape, and the rope texture comes into play. I started pinching and crimping along the rope strands and had to start really working for it. My impression is that is doesn't have quite as much friction as standard tex but is not too slippery. It would be really interesting to try the sloper! Definitely got the novelty factor, but also a very usable interesting hold.
