"&nbsp; The Beal Cobra II is a great classic for adventure climbing. The Cobra is Light and free running for ease of use on long routes, crags, and on ice. The Cobra has technically advanced construction and is treated to support the most difficult climbing applications. STRONGS POINTS : • Excellent balance between weight and durability. • Low impact force and high number of falls sustained. USES : All sorts of mountaineering and adventure climbing use. &nbsp; Impact force BEAL Guaranty 5,1 kN UIAA Laboratory 4,85 - 4,90 kN &nbsp; Number of falls BEAL Guaranty 16 UIAA Laboratory 18 - 20 Sharp edge resistance Sheath percentage 39 % Weight per metre 48 g Every filament of the sheath and the core of 'Golden Dry' ropes is treated with a water repellent chemical before the rope is manufactured. This chemical covering is polymerised at high temperature. The durability of this treatment is given by the polymerisation, but also because of the individual treatment of each filament before the rope is made. A Golden Dry rope is a rope with the core Dry treated, and a sheath of Dry Cover. Key features of Golden Dry • Very limited weight gain in wet conditions. • Prevents the rope thickening too much. • Improved rope-running through karabiners and belay devices. • Improved abrasion resistance in normal climbing use. LIFETIME• Lifetime = Time of storage before first use + time in use.• The working life depends on the frequency and the type of use.• Abrasion, UV exposure and humidity gradually degrade the properties of the rope.• Note that with use, a rope thickens and thus loses up to 10 % length.• Storage time : In good storage conditions this product may be kept for 5 years before first use without affecting its future lifetime duration in use.&nbsp;Working Lifetime :The potential lifetime of this product in use is 10 years.Attention : This is only a potential lifetime, a rope could be destroyed during its first use. It is the inspections which determine if the product must be scrapped more quickly. Proper storage between uses is essential. The lifetime of the rope in use must never exceed 10 years. The total maximum lifetime&nbsp; (storage before use (5 years) + lifetime in use (10 years) is thus limited to 15 years."
