Sterling Rope

<p>Tough enough to work the moves, light enough to redpoint. This high-performance rope is substantial enough for cragging, but not too heavy for long approaches. XEROS dry technology is applied when the nylon is still a filament, treating the entire rope from core to sheath. It produces less waste and uses less energy than traditional treatments. The balance of strength, versatility, and dry technology make it a great option for projects, desert towers or waterfall ice.</p><ul><li>XEROS permanent dry treatment is applied to filaments before they're twisted into yarns, resulting in less water absorption to prevent freezing in cold environments</li><li>Made with PFOA-free, PFAS-free, and bluesign® certified raw materials</li><li>Bi-colour pattern indicates middle mark to increase safety and speed on rappels</li></ul>

Sterling Rope IonR 9.4mm XEROS BiColor Dry Rope

Dry ropes have a water-resistant treatment on both core and sheath. Dry (UIAA certified) ropes have both core and sheath treated, plus meet the UIAA Water Repellent standard by passing a stringent test where a soaked rope cannot absorb more than 5% of the rope's weight.  

Maximum elongation in the first UIAA test fall, where a weight is attached to the rope and then dropped. Higher numbers indicate stretchier ropes. 

In controlled tests, a weight is suspended from the rope (not dropped). Higher numbers indicate stretchier ropes.

The amount of force, in kN, that the first UIAA fall puts on the falling object. Less impact force puts less force on the climber, belayer, and protection during a fall. 

Indicates the number of consecutive falls a rope withstood during testing in a controlled environment. The number is for reference only, and does not indicate the number of falls a rope will withstand during actual use or over its lifespan.
