Beal Sunrise 9.2 mm Unicore Dry Cover – 100% Recycled Single Rope

The Sunrise 9.2 mm is the most Planet Friendly dynamic single rope ever made: the world's first 100% recycled rope, braided in France from polyamide recycled from used tyres. Beal performance with a 78% lower carbon footprint for the yarn, with no compromise on safety or handling.

It is a supple, smooth-running rope that is a pleasure to climb on, designed for sport climbing and for climbers who want performance with a clear environmental conscience.

Rope specifications and certifications

Unicore technology permanently bonds the core to the sheath: if the sheath is damaged it stays in place instead of slipping (sock effect), letting you finish a pitch or an abseil safely. The Dry Cover treatment protects the sheath from moisture and abrasion, and the Thermo Fluid heat treatment homogenises the fibres for a smoother, more durable rope.

The world's first 100% recycled rope

The Nexis CC yarn used in the Sunrise is produced by chemically recycling used tyres: 1.53 kg of CO2 per kg of polyamide, versus 6.97 kg for traditional polyamide. The rope itself is 100% recyclable at the end of its life, and Beal plants a tree for every rope sold.

A dynamic rope for sport climbing

At 9.2 mm and 57 g/m, the Sunrise sits in the versatile thin-rope category: ideal for sport climbing, repeated attempts on projects and long days at the crag. The 80 m length covers the long pitches that have become standard at many major crags in France and Spain.

Made in France by Beal, in the Rhône valley.
