PATENTED TECHNOLOGY In the past reserved for semi static ropes only, UNICORE technology is now available on DIABLO dynamic ropes. |

From it’s introduction in 2010, UNICORE has created a sensation. The prestigious OutDoor INDUSTRY AWARDS awarded it a prize for the innovation it represents and the practical advantages it offers climbers. BEAL has succeeded in effectively linking the core and sheath of these dynamic ropes in a way that limits movement between the two parts so they work better together. Dynamic ropes benefiting from the UNICORE process suffer less sheath slippage, stay supple, have good handling and have a longer lifetime. By having a more free-running sheath than on a ‘classic’ rope, friction against the rock and through karabiners is reduced, resistance to abrasion is improved, and the effort of pulling slack and clipping is greatly lessened. The climber has the sensation of handling a much thinner and lighter rope because of the increased running fluidity, whilst retaining the assurance of a rope of higher diameter. |

Nina CAPREZ : "The DIABLO was actually a pleasant surprise. I need a rope to be light, supple and to hold my weight if I fall… it felt right to me. You’d expect it to be thicker than normal ropes, but I didn’t get that impression. I liked what I saw." Tony LAMICHE : "The idea behind the DIABLO was to combine comfort in case of a fall, and durability. " François LOMBARD : "The big thing that hits you with this new DIABLO is its light weight, comfort-of-use, remarkable running… and when you’re climbing, it breaks your fall dynamically, really comfortably" Sean Villanueva : "I did 4 times El Cap in 3 weeks. DIABLO is amazing for Big Wall and multi-pitch climbing!!! DIABLO is so resistant and have a great running characteristic!!" Philippe BATOUX : "DIABLO is a real multi-purpose rope. With a high durability lifetime, even against edges and with the use of ascenders" |
