- CE EN 892
- 95% of the raw rope fibers at Sterling get made into finished products; remaining waste gets recycled or upcycled into non–life safety products
- Send your used Sterling dynamic rope to the Sterling recycling department so the materials can get a second life; they also accept non-Sterling dynamic ropes
- Rope manufacturing facility runs on 100% renewable energy

Yes , I recommend this product
The bipattern and XEROS dry treatment make this an excellent all around rope. These features combined with the 9.4 diameter, provide a product that can excel on long multi pitch routes and hold up to the demands of performance sport climbing.

Light and simple. Bi-patern is nice. Bees and other critters come to visit from time to time.

Excellent rope!
Yes , I recommend this product
Ive used this for so many outdoor climbing trips and it’s held up to the task many times over. It’s a little more on the pricey side compared to other rope but you get what you pay for: - dry treated rope - slightly thinner yet still as durable as thicker rope - double sided rope to make it easy to untangle and flake - great color

I always go with Sterling.
Yes , I recommend this product
I haven’t used this one yet, but I love my previous Sterling rope. It handles nicely, wears well and the bicolor is worth the extra cost.

Great trad rope
Yes , I recommend this product
Hard to tell if it's durable or not. Only done trad on it with walkoffs or rappels. Very lovely rope though!
