How to choose its BEAL'S rope ?

Climbing & Mountaineering Ropes 9,1 mm JOKER Here is the ultimate rope, the latest creation of the BEAL LAB, born with the help of the BEAL Team climbers. It’s the only rope in the world which conforms to all 3 dynamic rope norms. The JOKER is in effect at the same time a single rope, a half rope and a twin rope. This rope will be loved by the most extreme climbers, seeking lightness and easy running, as much as by more traditional climbers seeking a multi-purpose rope for ridge routesor classic face routes, mixed ice and snow, or snow alone. Joker HD Yellow Standard Blue Standard Blue Safe control Blue Safe control Fushia Golden dry Yellow Golden dry JOKER HD STRONG POINTS: • Multi use. • Ultra light. • Ultra smooth. ATTENTION : Used as a ‘single’ this rope may not be grippable by all hands, and in all devices: in effect its fineness makes it a rope which demands expert holding and controlling. ‘Classic’ devices, designed for higher diameter ropes, will give reduced braking, and some self-locking auto-brakes may simply not work.

9,4 mm STINGER III
	Designed for high-level climbers, this is the single rope preferred for very hard routes. Amateurs stand aside…
	STRONG POINTS : • An incredible number of falls for its weight and so smooth running that it results in an appreciable increase in energy when clipping. USES : High grade climbers. Stinger HD	Salmon Standard Blue Standard Salmon Program Orange Golden dry Blue Golden dry STINGER HD

Like the Joker, this rope requires modified belaying technique. It also has lower abrasion resistance than ropes of greater diameter.

9,7 mm BOOSTER III
	Compact, easy-running and ultra-light, this, the pioneer of thin ropes slides in everywhere. It offers excellent strength for very experienced climbers.
	STRONGS POINTS : • A good compromise between weight, free-running, grip and strength. • Low impact force. • Increased number of falls held. USES : Very experienced climbers.

8,1 mm ICE LINE
	BEAL presents the very lightest double rope. Its extremely low impact force is excellent news for less-than-perfect belay points in ice and on mixed routes. A trump card that no alpinist can ignore.
	STRONGS POINTS : • The lightness and free-running of twin rope but with the advantages of a double rope. • Really low impact force. USES : Ice climbers and expert climbers. Ice Line HD	Green Standard Orange Standard Anis Golden dry Grey Golden dry Orange Golden dry Orange Bicolor standard Grey Bicolor standard Orange Bicolor Golden dry Blue Bicolor Golden dry ICE LINE HD
PERFORMANCE • Half rope - UIAA - CE • Number of bobbins 32 • Weight per metter 42 g • Impact force Laboratory 4.85-4.90 kN • Impact force BEAL Guaranty 4.90 kN • Number of UIAA Falls Laboratory 9-10 • Number of UIAA Falls BEAL Guaranty 7 • Sheath slippage 0 mm • Extension during the first fall 37 % • Static elongation 11,5 % • Sheath percentage 41%
The thinness of the rope gives it exceptionally easy running, but also demands appropriate and specific belaying technique. It’s in Golden Dry that this exceptional rope really comes into its own. Used as 2 strands of 60m, it allows for long runouts, but also to retain sufficient length even if you have to cut the ends of rope damaged by crampons or axe.

8,6 mm COBRA II
	The great classic for adventure climbing. Light and free running for ease in use on long routes, crags, and on ice. Technical and strong to support the most difficult demands.
	STRONGS POINTS : • Excellent balance between weight and durability. • Low impact force and high number of falls sustained USES : All sorts of mountaineering and adventure country use. Cobra II HD	Blue Standard Anis Standard Salmon Standard Fuschia Golden dry Green Golden dry Petrol blue Golden dry Orange Bicolor standard Blue Bicolor standard Red Bicolor standard Green Bicolor standard Orange Bicolor Golden dry Green Bicolor Golden dry COBRA HD
PERFORMANCE • Half rope - UIAA - CE • Number of bobbins 40 • Weight per metter 48 g • Impact force Laboratory 4.85-4.90 kN • Impact force BEAL Guaranty 5.10 kN • Number of UIAA Falls Laboratory 18-20 • Number of UIAA Falls BEAL Guaranty 16 • Sheath slippage 0 mm • Extension during the first fall 35 % • Static elongation 11,5 % • Sheath percentage 39% • Resistance to a factor 1,77 fall over an edge of radius 0.75mm
This is the multi-use rope par excellence, if you don’t want to own more than one double rope, it’s the Cobra you must have. It has a low impact force (5,1kN) to minimise anchor-point loading, and a sheath of sufficient thickness to withstand the most aggressive rock, all for only 48g and a record number of falls = 16.

8,8 mm PRO MOUNTAIN
	Pro Mountain 8,8 is certainly the toughest double rope on the market. In effect, its extra-thick sheath construction gives it exceptional abrasion resistance. Its excellent durability and relative lightness make it an advantage for professional and collective use (guides, rescue teams, clubs…) In addition each strand is marked in the middle (Black limit) to help with short abseils.
	STRONGS POINTS : • Abrasion resistant. • Black limit as standard. • Good handling. USES : Professional use. Pro Mountain HD	Red Standard Yellow Standard Red Golden dry Yellow Golden dry Yellow/Red Bicolor standard Yellow/Red Bicolor PRO MOUNTAIN HD
PERFORMANCE • Half rope - UIAA - CE • Number of bobbins 32 • Weight per metter 47 g • Impact force Laboratory 5.45-5.55 kN • Impact force BEAL Guaranty 5.80 kN • Number of UIAA Falls Laboratory 11-12 • Number of UIAA Falls BEAL Guaranty 10 • Sheath slippage 0 % • Extension during the first fall 34 % • Static elongation 7,8 % • Sheath percentage 44%		To respond better to the needs of professional users, its stretch has been deliberately limited to reassure the second. In consequence its dynamic performance is less in comparison to other BEAL ropes.

9 mm VERDON II
	A classic double rope giving maximum security forall types of climbing.
	STRONGS POINTS : • Resistance to abrasion and edges. • Low impact force + very high number of falls. USES : Long routes, traditional and adventure climbing. Verdon II HD	Violet Standard Yellow Standard Blue Golden dry Fuschia Golden dry Blue Bicolor standard Fuschia Bicolor standard VERDON HD
PERFORMANCE • Half rope - UIAA - CE • Number of bobbins 32 • Weight per metter 49 g • Impact force Laboratory 5.15-5.25 kN • Impact force BEAL Guaranty 5.30 kN • Number of UIAA Falls Laboratory 18-19 • Number of UIAA Falls BEAL Guaranty 15 • Sheath slippage 0 mm • Extension during the first fall 34 % • Static elongation 11 % • Sheath percentage 42% • Resistance to a factor 1,77 fall over an edge of radius 0.75mm		The rope for climbing in all situations, capable of surmounting all situations.

7,7 mm ICE TWIN
	Finally a twin rope (Essential to clip both strands together) for ice routes! Ice Twin, with its impact force of 7.4 kN allows its use in adventure climbing, notably on ice. In effect, the impact force of both strands twinned through the karabiner does not exceed the impact force of the best single ropes.
	STRONGS POINTS : • Low impact force. • Raised number of falls. • All Golden Dry. USES :Expert climbers on big ice or rock routes. Ice Twin HD	Green Golden dry Violet Golden dry ICE TWIN HD
Before buying this rope, be very clear that it must always be clipped with 2 strands, and that the belay system used must be compatible with its small diameter.
