Joker Unicore Dry Cover Climbing Rope - 9.1mm

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I always keep the Joker 9.1mm in my kit for alpine missions and long trad routes where weight matters but confidence in the rope is key. It's triple-rated, so I can use it single, double, or twin—no need to second-guess at the crag. The Dry Cover treatment sheds moisture and grit like a champ too."

When our climbing plans cover everything from fast alpine pushes to long multi-pitch trad, the Beal Joker 9.1mm Dry Cover Rope is the one we grab. Its ultralight feel and slim 9.1mm diameter make it an ideal single rope for seasoned climbers who want to move fast without extra bulk. Certified for use as a single, half, and twin rope, the Joker adapts effortlessly to varied terrain and climbing styles, saving us the headache of juggling multiple ropes.

Beal backs the Joker's performance with a Dry Cover treatment, protecting the sheath from dirt, water, and abrasion—especially clutch on snowy or sandy routes. With a low-impact force and smooth handling, it offers confident clips and soft catches whether we're leading alpine pitches or pairing it for icy couloir climbs. It’s no surprise this rope is a favorite among mountain guides and committed weekend warriors alike.
