Beal Karma 9.8 Non Dry

How is this climbing rope different from the others? First off, it has got a supple feel to it despite its large-ish diameter. This ensures the optimal handling that beginners and experts alike will greatly appreciate.

The former will have an easy time taking whips on the razor-sharp edges due to the low impact force, whereas the latter will find it convenient to adjust the rope with the middle mark distinctly pointing to the safe spots when descending. We can assume that the Karma’s ironic name came from its environmentally-friendly materials that make the rope free of harsh dyes and chemicals.

This is backed by the assigned bluesign criteria recognized by companies and users around the world.
