Vanishing middle mark
After just a few, quick, dry pitches, the middle mark is basically gone. Rope is great otherwise, but the middle mark is an essential safety feature IMO, so I may be returning this for one with an alternating pattern. Pretty disappointing for an expensive rope from a company that should know what they are doing. Middle mark should be more durable.
Online product description doesn't match item
Impact force, dynamic and static elongation are all listed incorrectly on the product page. Photo shows the specs according to the packaging of the product I received. Think twice before buying a rope from a shop that can't get product descriptions right.
Really great except for one sticking point...
This is a great rope despite an exceptionally odd middle mark. I've never seen anything like it and it's not good. It was marked with a thin coating of what appeared to be a sort of furry, tacky rubber. The first time I used to rope was ice climbing. You can feel the mark stick hard in your belay device and gear as it passes through. Not to worry though. By lunch time it will be completely worn off leaving no hint that it was ever there. Then you can make due finding the center through other means until you get home and remark it with something more durable, and less furry and sticky. Like an ink or dye instead of rubber fur. Then you will enjoy the great handling, durability, and fantastic performance of this otherwise extremely high-quality rope. I believe this is the least-likely-to-pigtail rope I've ever owned. The dry treatment is still going strong after several seasons. It must be enzo.
Great rope if you don’t mind twisted
I broke this rope in on the long single pitches around Moab. It is light and not too stretchy, but the handling was a little challenging. It twists and feels a bit stiff from the start - maybe it breaks in well - I’ll let you k is!
Love it!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Living in SE Alaska we like to use a good quality dry rope for our SAR work. Awesome quality rope
Not durable
I have only had this rope for a year. It has been outside all summer then inside all winter. Heavily used but I expected more from the rope. Beginning of this climbing season, I noticed the ends where core shot and a few spots in the middle started to fray. After one year, I am already retiring the rope.
Not Durable
Used less than 20 times, outer sheath frayed badly on a rappel from a dull overhang: lame.
Love This Rope!
This is my third BD 9.4 Dry, not because they wear out or need replaced for some reason, but because I have them in different lengths because they're the best rope I've ever used! This time I got the 40m because my local crags here in PA are only 18m so it's perfect - very little rope laying on the ground and lighter to back in and out! What a great idea BD to make this 40m rope! I LOVE it!!! Thanks!
Great cord
This rope is ready to roll right from the box with minimal break in needed. It’s durable and coil’s easily. I bought the bd rope marker after reading reviews that the mid mark wears quickly but my mid mark is still clearly visible after 15 to 20 uses (trad mp climbing) in mostly dry conditions. Planning to use this for ice climbing as well. Great rope!
Coil City
I flip the rope all the time, use different belay devices, belay different weight climbers, and yet this thing just perpetually wants to twist up all over the place. Absolute nuisance for the climber when they are on the way down and get stopped in air while the belayer works out the coils in the rope.
