This is the cord BD Athlete Babsi Zangerl takes whether she’s climbing 5.14 on El Cap or 9a trad in the Alps. The Black Diamond 9.2 Dry is protected from the inside out with a core and sheath that’s dry treated, making it an all-weather sending machine, built to handle the abuse from one of the best all-around climbers in the game.
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.
What sets Yosemite Valley apart—what truly makes it special—is not the history, not the size and scale of the walls, but the endless opportunities for unearthing new lines. From the walls to the boulders, it continues to be the past, present, and future of our sport.
