I work at a gear shop that doesn't carry sterling ropes, but I pay full price for sterling.This rope, although a 9.8, and low Uiaa fall ratings of 6 fall, this rope makes you…

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 ro…

It's not my favourite pair of climbing shoes. I wear them when my other pair get too stinky. My feet are fairly wide towards my toes so the fit isn't the best in these. Instep…

Similar to the Evolve Defy and other budget rock climbing shoes both in price and performance. After trying both the evolve on and this at the store, I felt that the Rogue had…

These shoes are advertised as transitional from gym to crag, but every time i've used them outside I can't put my trust in them. The edging isn't the greatest on tiny nubs an…

This shoe would be 5/5 just like the mens VS and for GOOD REASON, if it wasn't for some whiners who couldn't handle a barely noticeable print on a small strip of leather aroun…

All around great shoe. Great for edging and standing on tiny crystals or pebbles that it makes you wonder sometimes how is it possible you haven't fallen off yet. Rubber is pl…

This is my second rope and love it so far. I have only had two climbing trips on it and was initially worried that the increase in diameter, from 9.8mm, would have an effect…

In my opinion, these are probably the best all around cams you can buy. I own every size C3 and every size C4 from 0.3 to 4. The largest sizes are really only useful for certa…

These are your basic climbing shoe. I would recommend them, but you might also want to invest in some Gold Bond so as to fend off the stench that sets in quickly after use.…

This rope is obviously a good rope or it wouldn't be sold in the US. However, it is no the best rope on the market at this price. You can buy a rope with a much better UIAA…

Though i have only used the rope once it feels good in my hands and the amount of glue on the ends is promising that nothing will come undone down there... also i agree with t…

This rope is sweet. It's super thin but you can trust it. Its got a great color but fades really fast. Take your time learning it. :D…

I usually don't use twin ropes, but I got to take a spin on this one working on a route in the Red. Amazing handling (for Sterling) and a soft catch. Recommended.…

Nicest rope i've used by far, only tried a dozen or so, but this one feeds through gear the best and half the time i fall just for the fun of barely feeling it. The other half…

These cams are great, and well worth the money. The single stem design is a welcome change to the usual "U" shaped Metolius cams. These cams sit proudly next to my C4's, and…
