Sterling Rope Evolution Duetto Dry Rope

I am already a big Sterling fan and this rope just reinforces that bias. The sheathing is tight, yet flexible, with a nice hand to it. The waterproofing performs as expected. Excellent for roped travel and running belays. With a rope this light there is no excuse not to travel without it.

The rope is secure and strong. Great just incase anything happens while climbing, as a back up. I wouldn't use this to climb unless I had to because it is only 9mm thick.

Great rope, used it for a 4 man team (which turned into a 5 man team, not ideal) to summit rainier 7.20.16. Stayed dry for the most part and what did get wet dried very quickly. I had to swap out my 6mm prusik ropes for 5mm which bit into the rope well. The did not kink and worked well as a glacier rope.

Got this for backcountry use, minimal class 5 climbing, and ice/snow work. Thus far, seems a great rope. i am using it single, not double, and most belay devices I've tried handle the small diameter including my ATC.I don't plan (I guess no one does) to have any lead falls on it so its limits as a rope are fine. Maybe a few pendulums and a crevasse rescue or two, but mostly as a security measure when the exposure gets dicy.The color is great, and 30m seems enough for my needs. I have longer 11mm ropes when needed, but this one disappears into my pack, coming out only when needed.I hope to test the dry aspects of the rope, but unless this drought gives in, I'll be more worried about UV exposure than water.

There was no thickness listed in the description, but someone replied to a question about that and said that it was thicker than it actually is. I returned it because it did not meet my needs.

Good quality for the money. Holds knots well. Needs to be noted this is a Dynamic rope. Not a static rooe.

good

Impressed with this dynamic rope. I bought it for about $70. It is made in the USA so you know they don't cut too many corners when it comes to safety. Would recommend it to others!
