Beal Cordelette
Best accessory cord for demanding climbing and rigging applications.
This is the workhorse cordage that belongs on every serious climber’s rack. It strikes a rare balance between lightweight portability and the rugged durability needed for building complex anchors. You sacrifice a bit of suppleness for absolute knot security, but the peace of mind in high-consequence terrain is well worth the trade.
