Medium diameter single rope

With a diameter of 9.8 mm, the Karma 9.8 from Beal is the perfect single rope for ambitious beginners who already have some experience with belaying and are looking for a rope with good control. The rope has a high elongation value during a fall that results in a low impact force. It’s pleasant to handle and very compact thanks to the Thermo Fluid infrared treatment. The Beal Karma 9.8 is a rocksolid rope for indoor and sport climbers who only use it in dry conditions!

It boasts the UNICORE technology, which bonds the sheath and core together, offering safety even if the sheath is damaged.

Lifetime and avoidance of tangling

Beal ropes have a service life of maximum 15 years from the date of manufacturing (5 years storage + 10 years use). Depending on the frequency of use or damage, the service life will be reduced.

With the Magic Pack, the rope can be unwound optimally before it is first used in order to avoid tangling later on. By deliberately pulling the rope through it before use, the rope is also given a good stretch, which further helps to prevent tangling.
