Product Descriptions

REI Description: The Sterling Evolution Velocity 9.8mm x 60m dry rope is your go-to rope for all your climbing adventures. From trad climbs to sport routes to steep ice, the Evolution Velocity is up to the task. Sheath and core treatments protect against water and dirt, thereby increasing the durability of the rope. Just the right amount of stiffness keeps the rope from flopping around when you're trying to clip it; sheath withstands abrasion and slides smoothly without a lot of drag. 9.8mm diameter keeps the weight down to 62g per meter so you can carry the rope to alpine climbs. Kernmantle design combines a durable braided sheath with a shock-absorbent core for protection from fall forces. Sterling Evolution Velocity 9.8mm x 60m dry rope meets UIAA tests for falls, impact force and elongation.
