Sterling Fusion Nano 9.2mm Rope -
Anyone whose skin has been torched by the cracks of Vedawoo, crystals of Joshua tree, or sandstone of Moab knows what the rock at these areas can do to your rope. The Nano 9.2mm, with its super skinny construction lives up to the Sterling Rope trademarks. So, no matter what happens to your skin, one constant you can count on is that the Nano 9.2 will deliver high end performance and longterm durability on extreme onsights, redpoints, and alpine routes. NOTE: Due to these ropes' small diameters, it is recommended they only be used for onsights, redpoints, and NOT for top-roping or working of routes. It is critical that proper belay devices be used and extreme caution should be taken.

Sterling Fusion Nano 9.2mm Rope Reviews:

Reviews:

I've owned a couple dozen climbing ropes over the past 20 years, and this is by far my favorite, especially with the belay device options that are now available to work perfectly with it (Faders Sum and Grigri 2). I abused my old Nano sport climbing for two seasons and it wore as well as any rope I've had. The hand is perfect and the impact soft. I'm not sure why Sterling doesn't use this same weave on more of their ropes. My only caveat is that I weight about 125lbs, and I have seen two Nano's sheathed by climbers in the 175-200lb range on sport routes where the rope ran over an edge that I have never seen do damage to any other rope. I use this AT model as a regular lead rope for short sport routes, and it is the bomb!

Great for lead

This rope did great with sport, trad, and of course top rope. But where it really shined was specifically while leading. The smaller diameter made for an easier clip in on those harder to reach bolts and when you're worn out after so many big moves, you may not think such a small decrease in weight would matter until you get to the top to clip in and that one millimeter along the entire length has been decreased. This shed in weight was a great help, and also, when falling (which I tend to do often while leading) you get more of a stretch instead of the sudden jerk with the smaller diameter. And of course you always get the sturdiness and reliability of the Sterling brand.

I used this rope in conjunction with a 7.8mm Sterling Photon for glacier travel and ski mountaineering in Antarctica and loved it. Both ropes are fantastic by themselves, but used together you get a huge range of flexibility. You can lead vertical ice/rock with the Nano, cross glaciers and rappel with it. The sheath has a beautiful "hand" to it and it flows easily over snow and through carabiners, yet also ties nice, tight knots. The Nano is a lightweight, but full strength rope. About the only thing you shouldn't do with it is "work" routes or take repeated falls in quick succession, but as a ski mountaineering rope, it is perfect.

Sterling's Lightest Single Rope

There are smaller ropes out there rated as singles - namely, the Beal Joker (9.1) and Mammut Serenity (8.9). The Sterling Fusion Nano is my favorite in the category for how well it handles. For alpine climbing, the Nano is my favorite rope for its weight savings and stretch, placing smaller forces on gear in the event of a fall. I still have a 10.5 rope for cragging, top-roping, taking out non-climbing friends who will fall, and use in the gym - at 9.2mm, it won't be the most durable rope out there, but it will be the one you wish you could reach for every time.

A great rop! Almost like free soloing!

This rope is only 9.2mm yet holds up as well as any width rope. I am now addicted to these skinny ropes especially now that I have a Grigri2 that accommodates these thin ropes. I do not suggest that one try to belay on this rope with an original grigri. Although it works, it's a bit skinny for it. This rope virtually eliminates rope drag on long or winding routes. This rope did great with sport, trad, and of course top rope. But where it really shined was specifically while leading. The smaller diameter made for an easier clip in on those harder to reach bolts.

I keep this rope in my pack incase I come across sketchy terrain. Sterling makes great ropes and the price is reasonable as well.
