Ideal for long, wandering routes, run-outs, ice climbs or sketchy trad leads. A mid-range half rope, the Duetto’s 8.4 mm diameter is neither fat nor frighteningly skinny; the smooth, high-twist sheath and unique core allow the Duetto to be durable and easy to handle while reducing drag through gear and over rock. Now available in new DryXP, UIAA Certified Water Repellent.
- Small 8.4 mm rope diameter and 30 m length keep the weight down so you can haul it deep into the mountains
- Sheath and core treatments protect against water and dirt, thereby increasing the durability of the rope
- DryXP™ treatment means the rope repels water to a standard of less than 5% absorption
- Meets UIAA tests for falls, impact force and elongation
- 95% of the raw rope fibers at Sterling get made into finished products; remaining waste gets recycled or upcycled into non–life safety products
- Send your used Sterling dynamic rope to the Sterling recycling department so the materials can get a second life; they also accept non-Sterling dynamic ropes
- Rope manufacturing facility runs on 100% renewable energy
- Sterling offsets 100% of their carbon emissions by purchasing carbon offsets from Climate Neutral and Arbor Day Foundation
