The Top Gun is very light in spite of its beefy 10.5mm diameter. The Beal Top Gun is not only exceptionally durable, it has a high fall rating which makes it a great all-around rope for working routes. This rope can handle the abuse of jugging, hauling and redpoint attempts; yet it handles remarkably well and is very light for its beefy diameter of 10.5mm. This is a brilliant alternative to an 11-mm “fat” rope and is recommended for the climber who spends a healthy amount of time on walls or redpointing difficult sport routes. The Top Gun gives you an extra level of security by passing the UIAA metal edge test: it survives an 80kg weight with a 1.77 factor fall over a .75 metal edge.
