Why We Like The Black Diamond 9.9 Climbing Rope
The 9.9 Climbing Rope is Black Diamond's thickest and most durable climbing rope, and it's still versatile for virtually any style of climb. This rope balances the burliness required for big-wall projects with the beginner-friendly handling that new climbers need at the gym. Its Endurance rope boasts hardcore durability against rocky edges, and there's a half mark for easily identifying the rope's center for rigging rappels.

Great to handle
Beautiful, exactly as described. Used this in J tree for a few days as it's first outing - fed through belay devices really well, seems pretty durable against the sharp rock, but time will tell if it keeps holding up.

Great gym rope (40m)
Not much to say, the 9.9 is the perfect rope to beat up at the climbing gym.

Thick Sheath Offers Way Better Results
This rope is perfect. The sheath is tighter-wrapped than most of the ropes I have climbed on. This sheath is the highlight for me and is likely why I will return to this rope when I retire from my current one. The quality of the rope is fantastic.

Flawless
Great rope. Not prohibitively expensive, has a supple feel, soft catches, all the things I’m looking for from a sport rope. I have a 70m for the crag and a 40m for the gym.

New rope
Just bought this rope to get back into climbing. Feeling great in hand and coils nicely after the rat nest I had unpacking it. Can't wait to use it on an up coming trip to Craggin Classic at Devils Lake State Park.

Gym rope
So far I love it. Feels nice and is easy to pay out and take in. The 40 M is perfect size for my gym(50ft walls). Just waiting to see how long it lasts leading.

Doesn't seem to last very long...
This rope lasted me less than 8 months climb ing 1-2 times a week in the gym. Within a few months, it got some odd very small melted points on the sheath, then soon after the the sheets started to feel loose on the core and would bunch a little. Lastly, I found some hard, "knotty" spots in the rope which made me retire it.
