The Beal Legend is a lightweight half rope that handles nicely - fairly supple so you can easily guide it through a belay plate and also grab it to hold a fall.
The Legend is the ideal half rope for single or multi-pitch trad climbing. The price is amazing for such a good quality rope. At this price though you do not get any dry treatment to the core or sheath so it is not recommended for winter climbing or if it is very wet.
Two distinct colours aid rope handling and sorting on belays.
NB This a 'Half Rope' and should be used in conjunction with another Half Rope. Confusingly these are also sometimes known as 'Double Ropes'.
Having said that, people often use Half Ropes singly, particularly in 25m and 30m lengths, for scrambling (to protect the second, not the leader) and for glacier travel where a fall is likely to be more of a slither. These are situations for which there are no official tests and individual judgement must be used.
Price is per rope, not per pair.
