The Beal Joker Unicore Dry Cover 9.1mm x 60m is a super thin, multi-rated climbing rope that meets the requirements for all three dynamic rope standards.
Now benefitting from the latest UNICORE technology, the Joker will delight the most experienced climbers and alpinists seeking lightness, smooth running and maximum security, whilst still appealing to traditionalists seeking a multi-purpose rope for ridge climbs, or other classic, mixed or snow routes.
DryCover
Every filament in the sheath of Beal DryCover ropes is treated with a water repellent chemical before the rope is manufactured. This chemical covering is polymerised at high temperature to prolong the life of the dry treatment, thus adding to the durability of the rope. On a Beal DryCover rope, the core is not treated.
- Improved resistance to grit and to humidity
- Limited water absorption
- Improved rope-running through karabiners and belay devices
- Improved abrasion resistance in normal climbing use
Unicore
The UNICORE process bonds the sheath of the rope to the core. This prevents sheath slippage, but also helps to keep the structural integrity of the rope if it is cut or damaged.
- Sheath slippage is eliminated
- Allows safe escape should the sheath be cut
- Rope cutting is easy: no hot knife required
- Improved rope-running through karabiners and belay devices
- Reduction of shrinkage in water by more than 50%
