The Black Diamond 9.6 is our workhorse, all-season climbing rope with a bi-pattern that makes the middle mark easily identifiable and a versatile diameter.
Featuring a 1X1 weave construction that’s durable and supple and a bi-pattern for quick middle marker recognition, the 9.6 hits that sweet spot of being thin enough for a hard sport redpoint or mixed route but thick enough to take a seasonal beating in the desert. With a comfortable feel that knots easily and feeds smoothly through a belay device, the BD 9.6 is our multi-faceted workhorse climbing cord.
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.

"Pretty stiff at first but loosened up nicely after a couple days of climbing. Nice pattern."
