Core shot after two months

3 years ago

I love Sterling ropes; I own two others, both of which I've climbed on for over a year without any issues. I bought this rope in August and have taken 3-4 falls on it. This last week, I had to chop 3 meters off because it was completely shot - visibly fuzzy on the outside and not resisting me at all when I did a bight test. I haven't exposed the rope to any chemicals or other conditions that would explain its rapid deterioration. It's possible that the rope rubbed on an edge at some point, but I climb in a fairly developed sandstone region and haven't done any "adventuring" with it, so I find this an unlikely explanation. Fortunately, I bought a 70m, so I still have a good length of rope left to work with; but the durability just isn't what I would expect for a 9.6 dry-treated rope--especially with this brand (and pricetag).

Great rope

2 years ago

Great rope as all of the ropes from Sterling are. It can get a little twisty quicker than some other ropes I've had, but a run through a Grigri corrects that pretty easily. Plus as someone from Maine, I love to support a Maine company.
