Why We Like The BEAL Opera Dry Cover Climbing Rope
With a weight of just 48 grams per meter, the BEAL Opera Dry Cover Climbing Rope is ideal when on-sighting demanding sport routes thanks to its light yet rugged diameter and its low impact force softening our catch when taking a whip. The rope's Unicore construction fuses the sheath and core for improved durability that still has that ideal supple feel. BEAL protected the sheath with their Dry Cover treatment, making it a go-to for winter sends.

Perfect alpine rope
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Handles great, is lightweight but durable, good colors, makes an acceptable single for ice climbing and if you’re climbing as a party of 3 it’s perfect.

Best alpine rope
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
We have been using these ropes extensively at my guide service and have been amazed at the durability and lasting water repellency. I have also used this rope personally climbing everywhere from thousands of feet of granite rock climbing in Patagonia to long ice climbs in Alaska and wet climbs on Mt baker. It excels in all areas where weight and supple handling is a priority. It will be my go to climbing rope for a long time.
