Ice climbers will find the Beal Joker extremely lightweight and easy running on long, wandering ice and mixed pitches. As a single rope, the Joker is great on hard ice or mixed terrain where rope drag and weight can be an issue. When used as double ropes in a Half or Twin rope system, the Joker is an excellent choice for multi-pitch routes with full rope length rappels. UIAA, CE-certified Single, Half and Twin rope.
(Warning: Used as a Single, the Joker rope may not be grippable by all hands and in all devices: in effect its small diameter makes it a rope that demands expert holding and controlling. Caution must be used because many belay devices, designed for thicker diameter ropes, will give reduced braking. As well, some auto-locking auto-brakes may simply not work.)
