9.0mm Fusion Nano IX 70m Bicolor 2xDry
Description
The Nano IX may be the most versatile rope in Sterling's line up. It's both the largest diameter half and skinniest single rope that we offer. Triple certified, the Nano IX is the top choice rope of many of our athletes for alpine climbs, extended expeditions and long routes where rope drag would be an issue.
NOTE: Due to the Nanos' small diameter, it is recommended that it only be used by experienced climbers and belayers and NOT for top-roping or working of routes. It is critical that proper belay devices be used and extreme caution should be taken.

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.
