Beal Sunup

Yes. Beal uses an innovative chemical recycling process to transform used tires into the polyamide material used for this rope. It is the first climbing rope of its kind to be manufactured entirely from recycled materials.

The Sunup is designed for intensive use and meets the same rigorous EN 892 and UIAA safety standards as traditional ropes. You get the same handling and durability you expect from a high-quality double rope, just with a significantly lower environmental impact.

At 8.4 mm, this is a versatile diameter that works well with most modern belay devices designed for double or twin ropes. It offers a great balance between weight savings and durability, making it ideal for long multi-pitch routes.

Not at all. One of the primary design goals for the Sunup was to maintain high suppleness for easy handling and knot tying. It feels just as fluid through a belay device as a conventional rope.

This figure represents the total reduction in carbon emissions during the manufacturing process compared to traditional rope production methods. By repurposing existing materials rather than creating new ones from scratch, Beal significantly lowers the energy and resource consumption required to produce each meter of rope.
