Beal Pro Mountain 8.8mm Golden Dry Dynamic Rope Red (Per Meter)
Pro Mountain 8,8 is certainly the toughest double rope on the market. In effect, its extra-thick sheath construction gives it exceptional abrasion resistance. Its excellent durability and relative lightness make it an advantage for professional and collective use (guides, rescue teams, clubs…) In addition each strand is marked in the middle (Black limit) to help with short abseils.
To respond better to the needs of professional users, its stretch has been deliberately limited to reassure the second. In consequence its dynamic performance is less in comparison to other BEAL ropes.
STRONGS POINTS :
-
Abrasion resistant.
-
Black limit as standard.
-
Good handling.
USES :
Professional use.
Double rope
Every filament of the sheath and the core of «Golden Dry» ropes is treated with a water repellent chemical before the rope is manufactured. This chemical covering is polymerised at high temperature. The durability of this treatment is given by the polymerisation, but also because of the individual treatment of each filament before the rope is made. A Golden Dry rope is a rope with the core Dry treated, and a sheath of Dry Cover.
