Suppleness and low impact force for ice climbers; dry sheath with Unicore for extra safety The Beal Ice Line Unicore is a must-have rope for ice climbers and expert alpinists alike for its extreme fluidity and very low impact force. The Ice Line is made with Unicore, an astonishing process where the sheath and core are bonded without affecting the rope’s suppleness. If the sheath is cut or torn, the core and sheath remain bonded together, greatly increasing the safety margin of the rope. Check out the video for more info on this amazing feature. Dry Cover treatment is applied to the sheath to make the rope more resistant to abrasion and to various attacks such as falls, overheating, humidity, mud and grit, and significantly increases longevity. For both core and sheath treatment, choose the Golden Dry option.

Other FeaturesDRY COVER Each filament of the sheath of Dry Cover 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. On a Dry Cover rope, the core is not treated. Key features. Improved resistance to grit and to humidity. Limited water absorption. Improved rope-ru ing through carabiners and belay devices. Improved abrasion resistance in normal climbing use. What is UNICORE® Technology? An astonishing process, bonding rope sheath and core without affecting the rope’s suppleness. If the sheath is cut or torn, the core and sheath remain bonded together. With a standard rope, if the sheath is cut by abrasion over an edge, a frequent occurrence in the mountains, it slides and gathers over some meters. It then becomes impossible to pass this zone, whether ascending or descending. STRONG POINTS.
