8.5 Dry Climbing Rope
The 8.5 Dry Climbing Rope is Black Diamond's versatile twin or half rope designed for winter mountaineering and summer alpine climbing. It's the thickest twin or half rope that Black Diamond offers, and its dry treatment protects the core and sheath from water absorption for use on ice or rock. Unique to BD ropes, the 2x2 woven sheath balances both durability and great handling; it isn't too stiff that it struggles through belay devices or so soft that it won't last a single season.

Excellent rope
Perfect rope for rock climbing. Just the right arm lint off stretch to soften that fall!

Good rope, handles well
Mainly used on long routes as a rap line. Durable, supple, doesn’t get kinked or twisted easily. Just what I need for long routes that require double rope rappels.
