Description

A lightweight single climbing rope designed for climbers who want performance without sacrificing durability. At 9.6 mm, it sits in the sweet spot between skinny sport ropes and everyday workhorse lines, offering excellent handling and reduced rope drag on long routes. Sterling’s advanced sheath construction improves abrasion resistance and helps the rope maintain its smooth feel through extended use. The 70-meter length is ideal for modern sport routes, giving climbers extra reach for longer pitches and safe lowering. With its striking Purple Flash color pattern, the VR96 is easy to see on the wall and in the rope bag.
