The Ice Line 8.1mm is a double rope from Beal.
This is a rope for expert climbers, it is indispensable for ice climbers and high-level mountaineers. The Ice Line 8.1mm is extremely free-running and thin, with a very low weight of 39 grams per meter ! The thinness of this rope means that you need to have a good belay technique.
The Ice Line 8.1mm features the Unicoretechnology, which consists in bonding the core and sheath together, without changing the flexibility of the rope. This means that if the sheath is cut or torn, the core and sheath remain together, so there is no sliding between the two elements, even in emergency situations.
In addition, its Dry Cover treatment makes the Ice Line 8.1mm more resistant to water, abrasion and dust. This increases its life span


Strong points:
- The weight and flow of a twin rope with the benefits of a double rope.
- Low impact force
Use : Glacier, alpine or rock expert climbers.
Technical details:
- Impact force: 5kN
-Falls number: 6
Sheath percentage : 41%
- Weight per metre : 39 g
Technologies:
DRY COVER : Each thread is treated at a high temperature with a polymerised hydrophobic chemical coating before the rope is put together, which enhances abrasion resistance.
Advantages :
Better resistance to dust, humidity and abrasion.
- Improves rope flow in carabiners and belay devices
UNICORE : The process of bonding the core and sheath of the rope together without changing its flexibility. Thus, if the sheath is cut or torn, the core and sheath remain connected.
THERMO FLUID : This treatment stabilises the fibres in the sheath and makes them more homogeneous. As a result, the rope is more compact and manageable.
