Beal Booster Unicore

Unicore technology bonds the sheath to the core of the rope. This prevents the sheath from slipping or bunching up, which significantly increases the rope's lifespan and safety, especially if the sheath gets cut during a fall.

Yes, 9.7mm is widely considered the sweet spot for a do-it-all rope. It is light enough for redpointing and long approaches, yet robust enough to handle the wear and tear of frequent falls and repeated use.

Absolutely. The dry treatment prevents the rope from absorbing water, which keeps it lightweight and supple even in damp or icy conditions. It also helps the rope resist dirt and grit, which can otherwise work their way into the core and cause premature wear.

A lower impact force means the rope absorbs more energy during a fall, resulting in a softer catch. This is easier on your gear, your body, and your belayer, making it a great choice for climbers who want a more forgiving feel.

While the Booster is designed with experienced climbers in mind, its handling and safety features make it accessible for anyone. However, because it is a thinner, high-performance rope, it requires a belayer who is comfortable managing a dynamic cord.
