Sterling Fusion Nano Bicolor Dry Single Rope - 9.2mm

Item #STE0058 | 2 in Stock
1 Star Rating

Pretty disappointed

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #12 - Big Wall Climbing June 16, 2009

Pat's review said this thing stands up to alot of abuse, but after 2 days of guiding on it, the rope had 2 core shots! The sheath literally seems to be deteriorating to the touch, quite scary really. Maybe I just got a bad cord, but your money is more wisely spent on another rope.
