I got a quick question for all of you experianced climbing people. What is the difference between non-dry core and dry core ropes? I do know the difference between dynamic and static rope. Does it mean the same thing? Someone get back to me. Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2003 3:37 am
dry core means the rope has been treated with a chemical finish to repel water and dirt, non-dry ropes have not been treated. This treatment can be done to dynamic and static ropes.

A dry treated rope is chemically treated to repel water. I've been told by the "experts" that unless you are looking to do some serious ice climbing or mountaineering, a dry rope really doesn't add much benefit. We were climbing a couple of weeks ago at the Red and got caught in a gully washer and my dry treated rope was just as wet as my untreated rope. Not only that, the dry treatment will not last forever.
The cost difference is about $30 - $40. Save your money and put it toward a cam.
Just my thoughts.
