Since starting with Yannick Seigneur, then accelerating with Patrick Edlinger, the story of BEAL ropes has been marked by passion and research.
The Brand has been at the heart of the changes in the practice of climbing since the 80’s. It’s the development of rope dynamics, requested by the climbers who started to fly, which allowed them to be liberated from the pain of the fall. Thus freed of this psychological brake, energy is concentrated on the movements of climbing, leading to spectacular progress.

But back at BEAL, it is not only the ropes that are dynamic.

After the Program System and the Black Limit, passing by way of Dry Cover, ultra light ropes, the lowest impact forces, and again the Aero harness, the development department has not ceased its dynamic innovations.

       The BEAL LAB is not a classical research office

The climbers and mountaineers of the BEAL team are fully integrated into its work. We listen to their suggestions and their test reports, as well as their emotions and enthusiasms, to be imbued with the evolution of the activity.
It’s that which lets us anticipate changes and to be tuned to the needs of climbers.

BEAL LAB is thus a meeting of the practical and the theory. It’s a very light and reactive structure in which the wish to improve the security and comfort of climbers and mountaineers reigns without ceasing.
