High Mountaineering & Expeditions, Traditional Climbing, Ice-fall Climbing
Renowned as 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. Now it also boasts Unicore technology, making it ideal for 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.
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.
Uses: − Single: Very high level climbers
− Half / Twin: Climber / Mountaineer.
All Beal dynamic rope sheaths are waterproof treated with Dry Cover.
Each Beal rope includes an individual identification number
Beal Compact Process: Beal’s exclusive weaving process renders core and sheath as one, ensuring a perfect equilibrium in the rope and giving it these unique attributes:
− Lowers the impact force
− Increases the number of falls
− Allows the rope to conserve its dynamic properties in use
− Eliminates sheath slippage in normal conditions of use

Used as a single stand this very thin rope demands belaying technique adapted to its characteristics and precautions against wear because of its lower abrasion resistance.
Note: Please consult Barrabes Customer Service if you would like to specify the colour of your rope.
