Versatile and varied, the Sterling Velocity 9.8 mm dry-core rope is the quintessential all-rounder. Suited for both rock and ice, it's lightweight, durable, long-lasting and easy to handle.
- Has just the right amount of stiffness so your rope doesn't flop during critical clips; its silky-smooth sheath withstands abrasion and slides effortlessly to reduce rope drag
- Core treatment protects against water and dirt, increasing the durability of the rope
- Kernmantle design features a stretchy core protected by a durable outer sheath which combine for strength and good handling
- Rope meets UIAA tests for falls, impact force and elongation

- 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

- Sterling offsets 100% of their carbon emissions by purchasing carbon offsets from Climate Neutral and Arbor Day Foundation
