Sterling Rope

<p>Tough enough to work the moves, light enough to redpoint. The IonR 9.4mm is a high-performance rope that's substantial enough for cragging, without weighing down your pack on long approaches. A good balance of strength, versatility, and dry treatment make it suitable for projecting to desert tower adventures to waterfall ice.</p><ul><li>DryCore treatment on core yarns reduces yarn-on-yarn abrasion and moisture absorption, so your rope maintains its strength characteristics</li><li>DryXP dry coating is certified to the UIAA Water Repellent standard of less than 5% water absorption.

Sterling Rope IonR 9.4mm DryXP

70 Meter

Dry ropes have a water-resistant treatment on both core and sheath. Dry (UIAA certified) ropes have both core and sheath treated, plus meet the UIAA Water Repellent standard by passing a stringent test where a soaked rope cannot absorb more than 5% of the rope's weight.  

Maximum elongation in the first UIAA test fall, where a weight is attached to the rope and then dropped. Higher numbers indicate stretchier ropes. 

In controlled tests, a weight is suspended from the rope (not dropped). Higher numbers indicate stretchier ropes.

The amount of force, in kN, that the first UIAA fall puts on the falling object. Less impact force puts less force on the climber, belayer, and protection during a fall. 

Indicates the number of consecutive falls a rope withstood during testing in a controlled environment. The number is for reference only, and does not indicate the number of falls a rope will withstand during actual use or over its lifespan.
