These Fusion Photons are easy to pull when belaying with the Petzl Reverso and CAMP’s Gi-Gi. These lines handle well for such small diameters. The Photons seem a little wiry compared to supple fatter ropes. The wiry feel seems to keep the lines from tying themselves into bites. The colors of our ropes, yellow and purple, were great in contrast and beautifully bright.
I highly recommend the Photons to anyone looking for a lightweight half or twin rope. These ropes do what they were designed to do very well. You can also sleep better at night knowing that you’re supporting local business by buying from the Maine-based Sterling Rope.
