Good rope but stiff
My favorite aspect of this rope is the bicolor pattern. It's an awesome and easy way to make sure that you know where you are in the rope vice looking for your faded middle mark. I'm not sure why the BD dry ropes are so stiff, but this is the second one we've gotten and they definitely do not break in overtime. It has been several years since we last needed to buy a dry rope, and I would have thought that their dry rope treatment would have improved. So if you're really sensitive to the stiffness of your rope, I would not recommend this rope. On the plus side it does make clipping a little easier. It is a great rope outside of that and still has good handling.
Good stretch and works with grigri
Works well with a grigri 2 for sport. Me and my buddies trust it. Was leading a long route yesterday (90ft) and took a long fall on an ATC. The catch was really smooth with a pretty decent stretch in the rope (no whiplash on my neck!). Definitely recommend. I’ve got the 80m and think the weight isn’t bad even with a long approach. Seems to handle rubbing well on slab and concrete indoors when training sport. 10/10
Greatest Rope Ever
I’ve been through three ropes as a climber, this is by far the best one I’ve ever had. The diameter is ideal for long routes as it’s easy to handle, lightweight, and the bi-pattern adds that extra sense of security to know where you are on the rope. I’ve never had any issues with my Black Diamond ropes getting worn unevenly or not lasting.
They have upped their game on ropes!
When I opened up the new rope and felt it I was thinking that I am going to have to lay this out for a week to get all the coils out of it as coarse as the sheath felt but I rolled it out and not a coil in it! It is super flexible w great dynamic stretch while still having a super durable sheath! They have up their game on ropes!!
Fantastic rope!
Finding the ideal rope is such a personal experience. Too supple or too stiff, sheathing that pills or frays. There is always something not ideal. The BD 9. 6 Dry, Bi-Pattern is perfect. The 70m line I didn’t know I needed. Perfect for being on the sharp end. Can’t wait to get on the ice with it!
Great rope for trad climbing and long raps!
Great rope! Supple and was ready to go on it's first day. The sheath is holding up well after a few days of trad leading, rapping and TRing. The only thing I would change is to use better adhesive on the taped tips at the end of the rope, hardly a major issue. Would definitely recommend!
Great Rope
I’ve always climbed on a 9. 8 and was worried the 9. 6 would be too thin (more stretch?) but so far so good with this rope. Took a few test falls which went fine. Bi-pattern is clutch. I usually prefer more neutral tones with splashes of color but this blue is nice.
Amazing rope
This is my first rope for lead climbing and it’s amazing! I’m used to having a gym rope that struggles to get through my grigri. The 9. 6 is perfect for that, easy to work with and the bi pattern helps with addition safety and focus. Can’t wait to use it for sport!
Destroyed surprisingly fast
After 10 or so effective days in Indian creek (climbing a lot but falling very little), the rope has a core shot, a second one is developing and it looks very worn overall. I've never had a rope wearing so fast in my 15 years of rock climbing...
First climbing rope
This rope is amazing! As a beginner I was having a hard time finding a rope with all the options on the market but this one is perfect with the easily identifiable middle marker and its diameter and length are just right. 10/10 would recommend
