Beal 16mm nylon tubular tape
£1.20

Beal 16mm nylon tubular tape

Beal 16mm nylon tape. General purpose full strength tubular tape, supplied by the metre in up to 100m lengths. Remember that if you make slings out of this, the only recommended knot is the tape knot, and with a good long tail left on each side...there is always some slippage of these knots under initial tension.
Beal 6mm Accessory cord
£0.78

Beal 6mm Accessory cord

Beal 6mm accessory cord. Very suitable to make prussik loops, lanyards for tackle bags, and mounting the Raumer etrier steps. Suited for low angle deviations especially with well placed lighweight rigging. Has been used in footloops, but lack of durability is a serious issue. If weight is such a consideration, the MTDE Russian footloop is massively superior.
Beal 8mm Antipodes static cord
£1.10

Beal 8mm Antipodes static cord

Beal 8mm Antipodes static cord. Lightweight cord that has been used for very lightweight rigging, conforms to the EN564 standard for 'Type L' rope. "The rope must never rub, and lightweight rope even more so!" - Alpine Caving Techniques, 3rd edition. Also suited as a deviation cord, doubled as a rigging sling, and to make footloops. Breaking load 1800kg, elongation under 150kg load is 6.5%, it will hold two Factor 1 falls (of 80kg) when new. Note that the weight, and price, is per metre!
Beal Spelenium Gold 9.5mm
£1.92

Beal Spelenium Gold 9.5mm

Beal Spelenium Gold 9.5mm semi - static rope for SRT. High quality SRT rope for those expecting to deal with big pitches. A fairly soft handling yet durable rope, the big thing about Spelenium Gold is that it is low stretch, and very noticeably low bounce even on quite long drops. A reasonable compromise between light weight and durability for club use. It does not remove the need to avoid rub points, silly fall factors, or shoddy rigging!
Equirial 10mm Type A static rope
£1.10

Equirial 10mm Type A static rope

Equirial static 10mm rope. Soft, low stretch, and relatively 'thick feeling'. Pleasant to use. Static strength 3249DaN, 4.3% stretch under 150kg load, 66g per metre.
Equirial 9mm Type B static rope
£1.00

Equirial 9mm Type B static rope
