This rope has been great. I've only used it about four times. Seem that I'm from michigan and it is the middle of winter, but I took it out to rock climb for the first time and it is a light rope so the hike in was so much easier. This weekend I took it ice climbing and used it the whole weekend, my friends other ropes were freezing up making had to belay, but the nomad stayed dry, and the 9.8 width made it easier, to belay as well. This rope has worked so well, so far.. One thing that was weird I ordered the red rope and the color came a little different, much darker of a red with some blue, it wasn't a big deal I ended up liking the darker red anyways, but just a heads up.

I have about 40 days of climbing on this rope, all types: sport, trad, alpine. The durability seems great. This is the best feeling brand new rope I have ever felt. Usually it takes 10 days or so for a rope to break in to the point where I like it's suppleness, this rope felt perfect brand new and still has not lost it's great feel.

I got this rope about a year ago and by far it is my favorite. For the alpine climbing in the Park or other areas, go for the 70m. The durability is amazing - after a full season climbing on granite and sandstone, I'm still satisfied. My go to rope any day.

Love this rope, after several trips in different conditions this rope is proving to be durable and consistent. The climb ready coil is a nice touch as well. The dry treatment works very well and I can still smell it when rappelling haha. Hard to go wrong with this do it all rope.

Good handling 9.8 rope that's nice and light. It did tend to kink up pretty easily, as other people have also mentioned. I'll probably buy another one when this one wears out, though. Either the Nomad or the Sterling Evolution.

I bought this rope when it first came out and I am still impressed with it. I first broke it in at Joshua Tree and it slid over that rough granite with almost no fraying. I've used it for all types of climbing on different types of rock, taking some big falls on occasion and it has held up extremely well. I like that it was stiff rather than mushy, it just felt more secure. I took great care of it and washed it several times and still use it to this day. There are no soft spots or serious frays or slippage. The only problem I have is that it is kinky, but I'm sure that is because I use it so much and always have coiled up in a bag going inbetween adventures.
