Weighing just 48g per metre, it was the first single rope to break the 50g barrier, making it an outstanding choice for climbers and mountaineers looking to keep their rack as light and efficient as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its incredibly slim 8.5mm diameter, the Opera 8.5 is remarkably versatile. It is triple certified as a single, half and twin rope, making it suitable for everything from lightweight single-pitch climbing and long multi-pitch routes to alpine climbing and technical mountain adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGolden Dry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Golden Dry treatment gives the rope enhanced water-repellent properties, helping to reduce water absorption and maintain the rope's handling and performance when conditions turn wet. This makes the Opera 8.5 Golden Dry particularly well suited to UK climbing, alpine routes and mountaineering where damp ropes are an unavoidable part of the adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rope also features Beal UNICORE technology, bonding the sheath and core together to improve security and durability. If the sheath is damaged, the construction helps prevent excessive sheath slippage, while maintaining the rope's excellent handling characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a low 7.3kN impact force as a single rope, the Opera 8.5 delivers a softer catch while its incredibly low weight makes a noticeable difference on long approaches, multi-pitch climbs and alpine routes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're looking for an ultra-lightweight climbing rope that doesn't compromise on versatility, the BEAL Opera 8.5 Golden Dry is a seriously impressive option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved resistance to grit and to humidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited water absorption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved rope-running through karabiners and belay devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved abrasion resistance in normal climbing use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnicore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe UNICORE process bonds the sheath of the rope to the core.
