The original Nano was a perennial team favorite – the default sport climbing rope of choice for performance climbers. Now it gets reimagined as a triple threat: The Nano IX (Nine) arrives in a leaner (9mm), meaner, more versatile incarnation. Perfect for sport routes, ice, or mixed conditions, the Nano IX confidently surpasses expectations. Certified as a single, half, and twin rope, you get exceptional performance in a skinnier version of its very popular predecessor.DryCore™
Only Sterling ropes have a unique feature called DryCore™. What is DryCore and why is it so important? DryCore is Sterling’s innovative and proprietary way of treating the core yarns so as to reduce yarn-on-yarn abrasion and moisture absorption. The core provides the strength and power of your rope. If your rope gets wet, it loses critical strength and elongation will increase. In fact, tests have shown that a wet rope can lose up to 30% of its strength. In tests conducted at Sterling, wet ropes constructed with DryCore had less increase in elongation than standard ropes and maintained their strength characteristics while ropes without DryCore did not. DryCore standard on all Sterling rope cores.
