Beal rope marker demo

Here's a quick demonstration of how to use the Beal rope marker to put a nice little mark on your rope. To set up a repair at the exact middle, and to be sure your rope is long enough to lower off of a one pitch climb, a middle mark is very important. Even if your rope comes from the factory with the middle mark, they can wear at over time.

I recommend gloves to keep your hands clean, cardboard or something similar to protect your work surface, work outside, and use tape to make a nice clean line.

Pro tip: several shorter stripes are better than one long stripe because the rope can become stiffer after using this product.
