Beal Karma Climbing Rope

Yes, the 9.8mm diameter is an excellent middle ground. It is thick enough to be durable and easy to handle for those learning belay techniques, yet thin enough to feel modern and smooth through most standard belay devices.

Absolutely. The Karma is designed as a versatile single rope, meaning it is robust enough for the wear and tear of sport climbing while remaining manageable for the varied placements and movement found in traditional climbing.

An impact force of 7.5 kN means the rope absorbs more energy during a fall, resulting in a softer catch. This is generally more comfortable for the climber and puts less stress on your gear and protection points.

Yes, it features Beal's Black Limit middle marker. This is a crucial safety feature that helps you quickly identify the center of the rope for rappels and ensures you have enough length for lowering your partner.

The Bluesign approval ensures the rope is manufactured using environmentally responsible processes and materials. It does not compromise the rope's strength, durability, or safety standards, so you get a high-performing tool with a smaller environmental footprint.
