Beal
Up and Under in Cardiff stocks a diverse range of Beal equipment, ideal for canyoning, caving, climbing and professional work at height, as well as use in outdoor activity centres. BEAL, founded in 1951 by Janine and Pierre Beal, began by producing cords and shoe laces. In 1974, their son Michel expanded the company’s focus to climbing gear, creating vibrant, innovative ropes with the help of French guide Yannick Seigneur. BEAL's bold move to manufacture climbing ropes set the stage for a legacy of cutting-edge products rooted in mountain sports history.
Over the past 30 years, BEAL has pioneered advancements in climbing and personal protective equipment (PPE) technology. Committed to quality, innovation and sustainability, BEAL manufactures all its products in-house, ensuring they meet high standards of functionality and safety. Their bold, colourful designs reflect a passion for climbing and outdoor adventure. Additionally, BEAL has been dedicated to environmental responsibility, planting over 2 million trees in Madagascar through its reforestation project. Their eco-friendly headquarters in France includes photovoltaic panels and a unique waste management system to reduce their carbon footprint.

Super Leash
The Beal Super Leash is part of the Beal Work Station range. It’s an extendable tool tether which helps prevent dropped objects, particularly tools, whilst working at height. The bungee lanyard saves space when not in use but can extend up to 1.15m when you pull it. If used properly, the drop risk can be eliminated, as the tool always remains attached to something.

Absorb'Air
The Beal Absorb'Air is an energy absorber constructed of webbing, it is essential protection that's ideal for working at heights where there is a risk of falling. If a fall occurs, the inner webbing will tear to reduce the force and ensure the safety of the worker, For optimum safety, we use an easy to open semi-rigid pouch enabling users to inspect the condition of the entire length of the lanyard. For the same reason, each lanyard is marked with a unique serial number as well as a QR code for traceability.
