Black Diamond 8.8 Dry Rope

A triple-certified single, half, and twin climbing rope built for climbers who want one cord that handles single-pitch sport, multi-pitch trad, and ice missions, the Black Diamond 8.8 Dry Rope is the rope that follows a climber from the local crag to a Cascades alpine objective without a second cord in the pack. Triple certification gives the user the option of clipping a single line on bolted routes or splitting the rope into a doubled half-and-twin system on the descent. The 1X1 weave sheath construction is built for everyday use rather than ultralight one-season life, and the dry treatment penetrates the core and sheath to repel moisture from the inside out. A middle marker identifies the rope center for rappels. The 8.8mm diameter and triple single, half, and twin certification make it the appropriate quiver-of-one rope for a climber who refuses to own three different cords.
