The 9.8mm Evolution Velocity Dynamic Rope by Sterling is part of their Evolution Series of ropes. This is a rope that is lightweight, but can take multiple impact forces with high fall ratings. Bottom line, a light rope that can take a heck of a beating for an extended period of time.
The Velocity has been constructed with a new sheath and core construction giving you an incredibly durable rope with half the weight of a higher diameter.
The Velocity also excels at zero drag over rock and caribiners, and clips with enough stiffness, you can be assured you won't get that classic rope flop.
All in all, the Velocity is the perfect rope for onsights, redpoints or long routes where you need a rope that can glide over surfaces without getting caught and will clip like a dream.
Tie into the Sterling Evolution Velocity 9.8mm Rope for redpoint attempts, onsighting, or long routes where low weight and durability are paramount. Sterling gave the Velocity a stiff feel for easy clipping and reduced drag, and the rope’s revamped core and sheath construction give you a light rope that can stand up to a beating, whether it’s at the local sport crag or ten pitches up a granite buttress.
Clip after Clip, this 9.8mm rope has it all. Just the right amount of stiffness, so your rope doesn’t flop during critical clips. Its silky smooth sheath repells abrasion and slides effortlessly to reduce rope drag. And, when it comes to taking air, it delivers a smooth ride. Onsights, redpoints, or gnarly long routes, there is nothing holding you back when you clip the velocity.

| All in all, Sterling's made a great rope here. Plenty light for working sport routes and the sheath stiffness makes clipping a dream. I do think I'll be retiring this rope in a bit less time than I would had I purchased a thicker 10.2 or something, but it has definitely put up with some heavy abuse in the past year-- and is still giving me nice soft catches. Bonus: The pink color is awesome. Everyone compliments me on it. (Plus, if you're a guy, you get double bad ass points for sending hard routes with an electric pink rope ;). | |
