Whilst the C4’s are not the best for everything, they are pretty much well SUITED FOR ALL SITUATIONS, and for others, they ARE the best! Their double-axle design gives them…

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…

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…

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…

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…

I only just got this rope recently so I can't speak for its durability. However, right away the smoothness of handling was apparent both while belaying and when clipping. It p…

The Vipers perform very well on waterfall ice. This tool is well-weighted and has a natural swing with very little reverberation upon striking. It is a bit chuckier than the N…

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…
