Black Diamond

9.9 60 m $200 70 m $230

Trad climbing often puts more wear and tear on your rope than sport climbing, so having a thicker rope with a strong sheath is important. The Black Diamond 9.9 is a tested and proven workhorse that’s great on limestone cracks and long granite splitters. It’s easy to clip with, soft to the touch and tough enough to last countless days on steep rock.
