By balancing lightweight performance with durability, the Black Diamond 9.4 Dry is the ideal rope for rock and ice missions that demand high performance day after day.
By combining a 1X1 sheath that's burly enough to withstand everyday abuse with a versatile diameter equally suited for hard redpoint burns or projecting sessions, the 9.4 hits the sweet spot for climbers who demand performance and need reliability. The dry-treated core and sheath repel moisture from the inside out, while the middle marker is easily identifiable. The 9.4 handles exceptionally well, knots easily, and feeds smoothly through a belay device, making it perfectly suited for hard redpoint burns or projecting sessions on both ice and rock.
From clean climbing, to conservation, Black Diamond is committed to protecting the people and places we love.
At BD, our passion for innovation is only matched by our desire to use our equipment and experience the success it was designed for. From the world’s first wire-gate carabiner to our cornerstone Camalots, we have always designed gear that enables climbers to push the limits of our sport.

"This is the 4th 9. 4, 70m rope I’ve purchased in 5 years. It’s a workhorse, handles beautifully, reasonably light, sheath holds up well (especially multiple J-Tree weeks), then gets a 2nd life as a canyoneering repel rope! Middle mark stays visible for years. Love it!"
"I will just talk about handling because I haven't taken any falls or otherwise stressed the rope much. I have ropes that have to be meticulously stacked to prevent tangling and carefully managed to avoid twisting. So far, it is the best handling rope I have used with little tendancy to tangle or twist."
"Fantastic rope. Has a great feel and the middle marker is a helpful addition!"
