Black Diamond's 8.6 Dry Ondra Edition climbing rope is their slimmest diameter cord and designed in partnership with legendary American rock climber Alex Honnold.
Constructed with a dry treatment on both the sheath and core of the rope, the 9.4 Dry rope is protected against the weather from the inside out, complemented by a burly sheath that utilizes a 1x1 weave construction to withstand everyday use - making it a great choice for your wet, cold winter mission or your dusty, gritty summer project. Moreover, a triple dash middle marker is clear to spot, providing additional safety.
The handling easily knots and smoothly feeds through belay devices, making it ideal for hard redpoint burns or projecting sessions on rock and ice alike.
