Black Diamond 9.9 Climbing Rope

Crush gym sessions or redpoints with the 9.9 Rope—durable and confidence-boosting

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve used the 9.9 for everything from daily gym laps to working sport routes outside. It handles great out of the bag and stays smooth even after weeks of use. It’s not the lightest rope in my kit, but it’s the one I trust when I know the pitches are going to be rough on gear."

When we´re putting in burns at the crag or logging hours at the gym, the Black Diamond 9.9 Rope keeps up without missing a beat. Black Diamond designed this workhorse to strike a balance between durability and reliable handling, giving us a rope that we’re not afraid to drag over gritty limestone or whip on repeatedly while projecting.

The thick 9.9mm diameter adds peace of mind when we´re pushing grades or belaying newer climbers, and its supple feel makes clipping smooth and easy. Whether we’re on lead or at the belay, this rope gives us the confidence to go all in—and it holds up to the abuse of season-long use.
