Beal Raider Aramid 11mm x 50m rope

Type B semi-static ropes specially developed for rapid descent from helicopters by special forces. Their Aramid sheath does not melt, even against a descender overheated by the descent. Whereas classic ropes in polyamide or polyester have a very limited lifetime because their sheath melts, rendering the rope stiff and useless, Raider ropes permit multiple descents.
