Edelrid climbing and safety equipment

Edelrid is a prestigious German brand that has been a pioneer in the mountain sports industry for over 160 years. Founded in 1863 by Julius Edelmann and Carl Ridder, the company initially focused on making ropes and braids. They are famously credited with inventing the kernmantel rope in 1953, which remains the industry standard for climbing ropes today.

While Edelrid maintains a strong commitment to its German roots, with a significant majority of its high-tech climbing ropes still manufactured at its facility in Isny im Allgäu, the brand operates as part of the wider Vaude group structure. This partnership allows Edelrid to leverage global supply chains for its diverse range of equipment, including helmets, harnesses, and hardware, while maintaining high environmental and safety standards.
