Beal Cobra II Half Rope

The Cobras are great ropes, especially if like myself you're looking for a rope that will last and be up to many different days out across the disciplines. I am totally sold on the UNICORE construction, especially for stuff like sea cliff climbing where the chance of cutting through the sheath while abseiling into a crag is something you need to consider. They handle well and over the last few months have withstood repeated days out on rock and snow. The Cobras sell at £121 for 50m and £145 for 60m, which is middle of the road in terms of price - but you'll not be replacing these anywhere near as fast as a cheaper rope, so it's money well spent in my eyes.
