Sterling Nano 8.9 mm XEROS Dry Climbing Rope

The Nano is an interesting choice when every gram counts, but versatility still matters. We like that its triple rating opens up different climbing objectives, while the XEROS treatment makes it a practical option for the wet and snowy conditions we encounter in the Rockies.

Consider Another Option If

You prefer a thicker rope for frequent everyday cragging, or your belay device isn't compatible with this diameter.
