9.0mm Fusion Nano IX 60m 2xDry
Description
Our 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.

We like a lot of things about the Sterling Fusion Nano IX. It's lightweight, handles well, and it fared pretty well during our tests. This is a great rope for certain situations, like a hard onsighting on a long route, but it's not the best everyday cragging rope. The new DryXP treatment also makes it suitable for Alpine and Ice climbs, though the rise of the Unicore lines has us preferring them in those situations due to the extra bit of safety that they provide. The Nano is still a great line though, and we'll be bringing this one out for those routes that go on forever.
The Sterling Fusion Nano IX was an excellent rope when it was first released two years ago, and it’s still near the top of the pack for skinny ropes. The new DryXP treatment in particular is excellent; I think when combined with the higher sheath-to-core proportion and inclusion of a middle mark, the new Nano IX is definitely an improvement over the previous version of the rope. That said, if you’re looking for a super durable rope, there are slightly burlier options out there, even at similar diameters. So, while I wouldn’t go out and replace a perfectly good rope based on these factors alone, if you’re in the market for a new skinny dry-treated rope, the Sterling Fusion Nano IX is an excellent choice.
The exceptional low weight and smooth handling are ultimately the reasons why the Nano IX took home our Top Pick award for the best alpine/sending rope. Shoppers should be aware that its small diameter did compromise its durability in our tests. But if you can stomach the fragility, this rope provides the weight savings to get you up your most ambitious goals.
