Beal TIGER 10mm UNICORE Dry Cover Gear News

Beal TIGER 10mm UNICORE Dry Cover is an example of multipurpose: in climbing it's the introductory rope for those starting to use thin ropes.

Now benefiting from UNICORE technology, it becomes the perfect rope for all adventures.

UNICORE

An astonishing process, bonding the sheath and core without affecting the ropes suppleness. If the sheath is cut or torn, the core and sheath remain bonded together. With a standard rope, if the sheath is cut by abrasion over an edge, a frequent occurence in the mountains, it slides and gathers over some metres. It then becomes impossible to pass this zone, whether ascending or descending.

DRY COVER

A process whereby every individual sheath strand receives a chemical treatment before the rope is manufactured. The treatment is hydrophobic, increases abrasion resistance and is polymerised at high temperatures. The polymerisation process together with every strand being coated individually increases the life of the treatment.

The treatment makes the ropes more resistant against abrasion, repeated falls, heat, dust, moisture and vastly increases their durability.

A DRY COVER treated rope is:

  • more dust and moisture resistant.
  • more abrasion resistant.
  • designed to maintain its suppleness in belay devices over time.

Well they've got a long way to go, then! 10mm is thick by today's standards, isn't it? They'd be better off saying "starting to use ropes other than the extra-thick, inflexible ones commonly used for indoor bottom-roping".
