It’s my birthday today (thanks) and I got a beautiful new Beal dynamic rope for a present. Great! Trouble is that I quietly also bought myself a present a month earlier – another great rope. Now I guess I will be selling one of these:

Beal – Top Gun 2 – 10.5mm dynamic, (dry cover, edge resistant)

60 meters

7.4kN impact force, 68g/m weight, 11 UIAA falls (tested 13-14 falls), 37% dynamic and 9.5% static elongation

including rope bag with fold out mat

$280, original price $365 (never unpacked)

Edelrid – Skyline – 10.5mm dynamic

50 meters

9.6kN impact force, 72g/m weight, 10 UIAA falls, 32% dynamic and 7.7% static elongation

including rope bag with fold out mat

$170, original price $270 (unpacked only to practice knots)

I’ve also got an extra chalkbag for $20.

If anyone’s interested in buying either rope, please let me know – they are in perfect new condition.
