Black Diamond 9.2mm x 70m Climbing Rope
9.2mm x 70m Climbing Rope
Some climbers remember when 9.2mm was a shockingly, terrifyingly skinny single cord. Those climbers? They probably have some gray hair...
With constant innovation and a better understanding of our gear, a 9.2 rope is now standard fare for sending the gnar. Black Diamond's 9.2mm x 70 m - which apparently needs no fancy-schmancy name like the "Lightning Elite" or "Super NIAD" - serves up a very light rope that can still take a licking. BD incorporated a 1x1 weave construction to lengthen the rope's lifespan and bolster its abrasion-resistance, leading to a phenomenal weight-to-durability ratio. A certified single rope, the 9.2 also boasts a supple hand that only gets smoother as the rope ages. You'll find a triple-dash middle mark, as well, making it a wee bit easier to spot when pulling the rope for rappels.

Specs
- For a 9.2mm rope, this is a workhorse meant for everyday use at the crag or on the 12th pitch
- 1x1 woven sheath construction increases the rope's durability and abrasion-resistance
- Triple-dash middle marker makes finding the middle a wee bit easier when setting up rappels
- Boasts a supple hand without feeling "slick," which leads to easy knot tying, smooth feeds through devices, and basically overall happiness
- "Climb Ready Coil" is BD's way of saying this rope is ready to roll right out of the packaging instead of having to delicately unfurl it just right before first usage
