Sterling: What’s in a Rope?

Sterling is a long time partner and Official Rope Sponsor of the AMGA Instructor Team. As climbers, adventurers, engineers, and entrepreneurs, Sterling designs and produces the world’s finest ropes, hardware, and gear that enable climbers to confront challenging conditions. 

They also operate with an incredible level of efficiency in regards to waste. Over 95% of the raw fiber that they purchase gets made into finished product rope. Everything else that does not make it into the final product gets either repurposed or recycled. 

While it is easy to see why Sterling is a great choice, if you’re wondering what to consider when choosing a rope, listen to Sterling Athlete and American Mountain Guides Association President, Angela Hawse, as she takes us through how to choose a rope for your particular climbing objective.
