Beal Tiger Unicore Dry Cover Climbing Rope - 10mm reviews and deals for sale

My BFF <3

Over the last few years, my Tiger and I went through everything together from sport projecting to ice to multi pitch trad. It caught every trust fall *cough whip* and uncoiled forgivingly even after those bad weather days when it got shoved into the bottom of my pack during speedy escapes.

Reliable durabilty and surprisingly thinner than you'd think a 10mm would feel. The damaged ends have been cut to a gym rope because I can't let it go. <3 #BFFL
