Founded in 1951, Beal started its journey into becoming a leading rope manufacturer by producing cord and shoelaces.
The company pivoted to mountaineering ropes after Michel Beal attended the mountain show in Grenoble in 1975 and noticed the similarities between the two cords. Michel met French guide and engineer Yannick Seigneur, and the two struck up a friendship during the development of Beal’s mountaineering ropes.
Beal’s first climbing rope was released at the same show in 1976. With a history of innovation and technical advances, the company’s first dedicated work at height rope was released in 1993. Staying true to their roots, Beal are launching Smart Ropes initially, with the remainder of their product range to follow.
