Beal Aqualine
Best durable and smooth handling rope for all around climbing.
This is the rare canyoneering line that refuses to stiffen up after a season of abuse. While it sacrifices a bit of weight for that long-term suppleness, the trade-off is a predictable, low-stretch descent that feels just as smooth on your hundredth rappel as it did on your first.
