Beal has come out with a new technology
for caving ropes. The video of the
sheath-cutting test is pretty impressive. See
press release below. No word on price yet.

Dear Caving Friends, Chers Amis Spéléo,
Thanks to our official partnership with the
European caving rope manufacturer, BEAL, the
European Speleological Federation (FSE) is able
to present you the preview of the new caving rope
technology that Beal has invented and that they
will officialise on next week. It is a complex
polymerization process called UNICORE that
enables to bind the sheath of the speleo-rope to
the core, while all the other qualities of the
rope are kept and even reinforced. This specific
process that Beal have patented enables us to
have an 8.5mm rope that has all the qualities of
the Spelenium 9mm rope with which we are used to.
Like this, we gain in weight and in resistance of
the sheath of the rope. For those who need type A
ropes, the Beal Unicore Spelenium rope exists also in diameters 10.5 and 11mm.
You can access to the bilingual press release
specially in preview on the FSE website (pdf file of 300 ko) :
www.eurospeleo.org/beal-unicore.pdf
And the videos in 5 languages of the comparative
tests between Unicore and classic rope technologies are accessible on :

Should you have technical questions or
suggestions about the Unicore tecnology, please
send them to [email protected] and you will receive an answer from BEAL.
Best wishes for your explorations,
