Beal Stinger III 9.4mm UNICORE Dry Cover
The Beal Stinger III 9.4mm UNICORE Dry Cover is a single rope with UNICORE technology and a Dry Cover treatment for increased durability, designed for high-level sport climbing. The Beal Stinger III 9.4mm UNICORE Dry Cover uses UNICORE technology to eliminate sheath slippage and fraying, vastly improving its safety and meaning the rope will still function if cut or torn. Its Dry Cover treatment adds general durability, protecting the rope from water and abrasions and lengthening its lifespan. A great lightweight crag rope with a decent fall rating.

Features
UNICORE
In non-UNICORE ropes, the sheath and the core, even though they are tightly woven together, are independent from one another, which leads to sheath slippage and effectively reducing the longevity and overall safe use of the rope. UNICORE ropes bond the core and sheath - i.e., UNICORE. This eliminates sheath slippage, prevents the rope from fraying if it is cut or torn and thus allows it to still pass through belay devices and carabiners etc., whilst also reducing water shrinkage by more than 50%.
Dry Cover
Comes as standard on all of Beal’s dynamic ropes. A treatment on the rope’s sheath that protects it from moisture and increases its abrasion-resistance, helping the rope stay dry and overall lengthening its lifespan.
1 Rope 1 Tree
Beal takes their environmental responsibility seriously. They divide their efforts between two main approaches. Firstly, Beal run an exceptional programme, in which they plant a tree for every single dynamic rope purchased. They’ve been doing this since 2007 and have no plans to stop! Secondly, Beal organises the recycling of ropes when they reach the end of their life. Every Beal rope is recyclable, and anyone can send their used Beal rope to one of their recycling departments, where they are broken down and reused. Top work Beal!

Nice price for a light and beautiful rope. Really smooth to clip on long routes and still easy to handle.
I break this rope out most often for harder trad sends. At 9.4mm, it’s a bit beefier giving me a little more confidence against getting the chop, yet light enough to reduce drag and effort. UNICORE gives peace of mind (YouTube it if you want a demonstration). It takes a few uses for the handling to be where I want it, and it seems more prone to getting twists than most of my other ropes, but it’s a great rope overall.
Found it spectacular nice colored, extremely smooth to handle and very light to carry!
In love with my Pink Fuschia rope! Perfect length and diameter for both indoor and outdoor sport climbing! A little stiff at first, but once used a few times it becomes softer and smoother! Recommend!
Very smooth on the grigri, light to carry, awesome color.
Because of the treatment the rope has it feels like it will last a lot before it starts getting bad.
Ideal for multi and sending. For projecting something a bit thicker would be better.
