What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I like this rope for days when I'm pushing grades outside. It handles smoothly for clipping, but the lower impact force gives a noticeably softer catch. The Unicore bonding also keeps it feeling consistent as the sessions add up."Steep sequences and long pitches demand a rope that moves with us, and the Booster III Dry Cover Climbing Rope from Beal brings together light weight, fluid handling, and dependable fall performance. The slim diameter feeds quickly through a belay device, helping us clip cleanly when the crux is close and breathing room is limited. On sustained routes, its Dry Cover treatment sheds moisture and grit, preserving smooth handling as conditions shift. The rope's low impact force softens catches and reduces strain on gear when we're pushing toward new grades. Unicore technology bonds the sheath and core to prevent slippage, extending the rope's useful life and providing consistent feel over repeated sessions. Whether we're working a project or linking pitches on varied stone, the Booster III 9. 7mm remains responsive, durable, and ready for another attempt.
