The Black Diamond 9.4 Dry seamlessly blends high-end specs with a durable construction that can handle day-in, day-out use. 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.
