Every climbing rope has stories in it.
Of steep ridges, cold bivouacs, sunny approaches.
Of falls, moments of fear – and the indescribable feeling of being on top.
Now you have the chance to give your old rope a second life – as part of “The Second Line”.
We need your rope.
Our new upcycling line is popular, and demand is high. And that's a good thing. Because it shows that people want products with meaning. But our raw material is becoming scarce.
That's why we're asking you: Do you have a climbing rope that's done its job on the rock? Then give it to us – we'll give it a second life – in the form of a belt, keychain, or gear loop.
You donate history. We preserve it.

This is how “The Second Line” is created
The products are manufactured directly here in Visp – by hand , with the respect that every used rope deserves. We follow a structured, fair, and well-thought-out process:
Delivery & rope acceptance
The used climbing ropes come to us. We inspect each one for origin, condition, and character.
Cleaning & drying
Each rope is thoroughly cleaned and air-dried – without chemicals, gently and environmentally friendly.
Sorting & Storage
We separate ropes by color, diameter, and texture to tailor our subsequent designs. Some ropes are special—and are reserved for special pieces.
Cutting & Preparing
The rope is cut to the appropriate length and the ends are welded or carefully processed.
Sewing, screwing, shaping
Each piece is assembled in our office—depending on the product, with robust seams, metal parts, or clips. We pay attention to both function and aesthetics.
Quality control & packaging
Before a piece of "The Second Line" leaves our factory, we check everything by hand. Then it is lovingly packaged and shipped.
