Edelrid Switch Double

The Switch Double by Edelrid is a versatile Y-shaped lanyard designed specifically for self-belaying during activities such as hiking, mountaineering, and alpine climbing. It consists of an energy-absorbing dynamic rope that stands out for its highly durable core-sheath construction. With its two branches of different lengths (75 cm and 40 cm), it offers flexible usage options, such as for rappelling or for custom positioning.
The Switch Double’s large loop allows for easy attachment to a climbing harness using a bowline knot, which makes it even easier to use. The nylon material ensures that the lanyard is lightweight and has a small pack size. These features make it the ideal companion for outdoor enthusiasts who value compact and easy-to-carry gear.
It is important to note that the Switch Double must not be used as a via ferrata set. However, its special design and high-quality materials make it a reliable and durable companion in challenging alpine environments.
