EARLY ACCESS - Dicks sells a counterfeit Black Diamond climbing rope (allegedly)
🕑 Added 2022-05-20 14:50:34 +0000 UTCTHIS VIDEO IS PUBLISHED TOMORROW. HERE IS EARLY ACCESS.
Emily and Zach allegedly bought a dynamic Black Diamond rope from Dicks Sporting Goods and what showed up was authentic packaging but not a Black Diamond rope. The rope that they received is likely a static rope from Ali Express which may not be properly certified and is the wrong type of rope to take climbing falls onto. Even if the rope is super good enough, they could have got really injured using this rope in a sport climbing context. Dicks Sporting Goods is an authorized retailer for Black Diamond so it's pretty strange how this happened.

Wonder if someone bought the rope, then discretely repackaged a cheaply acquired rope in the black Diamond packaging then returned it as unopened package for a refund and it was returned to stock ๐ค definitely looks like the cheap โbest light climber rock rope premium quality itemโ type of listings youโd see on eBay/alibaba/aliexpress
