£180.00

100m Beal Spelenium Gold 9.5mm

Beal Spelenium Gold 9.5mm semi - static rope for SRT. A 100m length of this 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!

C. C. 6mm Accessory cord
£0.80

Pure Dyneema 5mm
£3.00
