Beal Opera 8.5 mm 50 m Unicore Golden Dry dynamischtouw - groen

The Beal Opera 8.5 mm is a triple-certified dynamic rope (single, half, twin) designed for demanding climbers who need a lightweight yet durable rope for sport, multi-pitch, alpine, and ice climbing. With a diameter of 8.5 mm and a length of 50 meters, it offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. The Unicore technology bonds the sheath to the core, significantly increasing safety in case of sheath damage. The Golden Dry treatment provides water repellency and durability, meeting the UIAA Water Repellent Standard.

Advantages

Triple certification allows versatile use in single, half, or twin rope systems. Unicore construction prevents excessive sheath slippage, enhancing safety. Golden Dry treatment repels water and dirt, extending rope life. Lightweight at only 48 g/m, reducing fatigue on long climbs. High number of UIAA falls (5 single, 20 half, 25 twin) ensures reliability.
