The UIAA equipment standard provides a baseline for equipment performance in a test lab under controlled conditions on new equipment. Although these test conditions are relevant to the conditions encountered climbing, conditions encountered at the crags and the condition of the equipment are equally important. This recommendation from the UIAA member federation The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) provides vital equipment information that is NOT explicitly addressed in the standard, particularly failure modes of the equipment and recommendations for the use, inspection, maintenance, and retirement of equipment.
Be One
Description
BEAL's choice: To protect the rope, BEAL have devised a carabiner suited to sport climbing and repeated falls: the BE ONE.
The 'receiving zone' has been enlarged to allow for the rope to flatten during a fall without introducing lateral friction. The rope runs more freely and absorbs the fall more effectively. The contact surface area has been optimized through the use of a cylindrical profile with a 12 mm diameter. This is less restrictive for the rope and minimizes wear caused by repeated falls.
