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.

Just got this rope and have been climbing a half dozen days on it and it is awesome! Stoked on the durability so far and the large marking on the center is helpful too. I will let you know more once I work it in!

This rope is awesome. It's so easy to handle and feeds like a pale yellow edible fatty substance made by churning cream and used as a spread or in cooking. I've had mine for a couple months now and it still looks brand new. STOKED!

This rope is great. I've used it in Rifle, Eldo Canyon, Moab and everywhere in between. The way they coil it in the factory makes it ready to use the first time. 3 months of heavy climbing on it and still going strong.

This has been a great rope. I've been climbing on it for a couple years now and I am sadly going to have to retire it soon. It's always handled very well. The elongation of the rope is a bit more suited for lead than top rope, but you can top-rope on it just fine. It is pricey, but definitely worth it. When I have to, I plan on buying another.

soft out of the package, the durability seems great, and lightweight. the Duratec dry treatment seems to be keep ing the rope clean and dry.

I've only used this rope a handful of time so far, but have been very pleased with it. Obviously, I can't comment on it's durability yet, but I'm totally loving everything about it. I'll try and remember to edit my review after a year or so to include comments on it's performance over time. As of now, I'm very happy with the handling right out of the box! it's soft and doesn't kink as much as i expected. All ropes will kink, it's unavoidable, but this one's not bad at all. It has a middle marker, which I wanted, and is lighter weight than other options. I chose this rope after much research and reading reviews and am pleased with my choice.

Hi, This is my second nomad rope. The first one had markers at 25ft from the end which this one doesn't, but its not big deal. The rope handles great and is just the perfect diameter. So far I have climbed around 50 pitches (in new england) in it and shows no real of signs of wear and tear. Happy with it.

Sure, ropes get dirty. They get ESPECIALLY dirty when you don't use a tarp. I took this rope to the Red River Gorge, and it got BLACK. I've never had so much black residue on my hands after belaying someone. I used a tarp and everything, tried to keep it clean, but it seemed to just pick up dirt like a magnet. However, with a few washes, the rope was back in good shape, and was no worse for the wear. It handled great and didn't show wear from a few pretty big falls, whereas a friend of mind had a section of his new rope fray at the core a bit from a hard fall. Its a great deal for the price, in my opinion, and should last quite a while.

This is the first climbing rope I have owned, and though I have only used it for a couple of weeks, it is strong, durable, and easy to use. The rope is pretty thin and light, it is easy to belay, lead belay and rappel with. The rope broke in pretty easily and acquired a good, soft feeling fairly quickly. It does get a bit twisted at times, but all in all it is an awesome rope and I highly recommend it for any use.

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.

This has been our first rope, and having climbed on others, I think it is one of the best. Not only is it durable, but it also dry, and it is not too flimsy or stiff. Compared to others I was impressed. Certainly one of the better ropes, especially for the price. Btw, get green.

I bought this as my second rope after about 3 years on my last rope. I bought the nomad to cut a little weight and still have a durable strong rope. I have used it only a couple times but am ver happy with it so far. It is light and flexible, very durable, clips easily, and is pretty soft on the landings. I plan on giving this a thorough testing and have no doubt it will hold up.

I use this rope primarily for sport climbing and I love it. It is super easy to use with my Grigri, easy to feed and take. It is also really smooth when clipping in. I have no complaints with it at all.

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 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.

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.
