The JOKER, at one and the same time a single, double and twin rope, is now UNICORE and will delight the most experienced climbers and alpinists seeking lightness, easy running and security, and at the same time the traditionalists looking for a multi-purpose rope for ridge climbs, or other classic, mixed or snow routes.

About UNICORE

An astonishing process, bonding rope sheath and core without affecting the rope's 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 mountains, it slides and gathers over some metres. It then becomes impossible to pass this zone, whether ascending or descending.

About SAFE CONTROL

Change of pattern in the middle of the rope without cutting the filaments to indicate a length of rope sufficient for descending.


About DRY COVER

Dry Cover  © Beal
A process whereby every individual sheath 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. This treatment makes the ropes more resistant against abrasion, repeated falls, heat, dust, moisture and vastly increases their durability.

About GOLDEN DRY

Golden Dry  © Beal
A process whereby every individual core and sheath 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. A GOLDEN DRY rope combines two treatments: the core's treatment is added to the DRY COVER sheath treatment. This helps to acheive an astonishing durable and waterproof rope which allows to be labelled as UIAA water repellent.
