Beal Rando 30m Rope DryCover - 8mm description You could use your old, chopped half rope for glacier travel (and hope for the best), or you could use the Beal 30m Randoa rope that's actually designed for the job. You don't want to be carrying around a massive 60m line on a glacier, and you don't want to bring another rope out of retirement in hopes that you won't need to test it. Beal gave the Rando a DryCover treatment to keep it from soaking up water during hot spring days. This rope also makes an ideal choice for technical ski mountaineering where you want a backup line just in case. |
A great lightweight option, stronger sheath needed
Garrett Grove: 
A great option to have and have used it on many ski tours and glacier crossings and been extremely happy to have it. My complaint is it is not that "Dry" of a cover and the sheath should be more durable, considering it is made for glacier slogs and we all know that we step on the rope a lot during those. But still would rather have it then not.
Great for Backcountry and Canyoneering
Teotwaki: 
I have used this rope to rappel in Zion's Subway Slot Canyon and also in a little known slot called West Canyon off of Lake Powell. It works great for slow rappels, does not absorb too much water, dries quickly and does not stretch too much under load. We carry two of the ropes in order to handle longer descents. I also like having a rope with me for backcountry scrambles but don't want the weight of a 60m x 11mm monster.
Perfect
NvHiker:
Perfect length and weight. Nice to have when encountering dryfalls.
