In detail
The Sterling Velocity is a great handling climbing rope that excels at all aspects of climbing. It is pretty light for a 9.8mm rope, but the tightly woven sheath makes it perform well in harsh conditions – lots of dirt/ rough rock. Sterling have also managed the trick of getting a rope with a tightly woven sheath to handle well – it knots securely and flows well through rope controller without locking up accidently. It ages well and has above average durability. It really is a rope with very few compromises. XEROS technology creates a dry rope with next-level performance—and without a sticky, vulnerable-to-wear outer coating. Because of the process, both the core and sheath are protected with XEROS, which reduces performance issues related to sheath slippage. All for a minimal price increase over traditional non-dry rope. This product can only be sold to military, police and government agencies.
