Sterling Evolution Duetto Alpine Touring 8.4mm Rope Review

Product Rating: 
0
Picture of Sterling Evolution Duetto Alpine Touring 8.4mm Half Rope

Features:

From Sterling Rope, "The Duetto is built to be lightweight with a great hand. The smooth, abrasion resistant sheath glides over the snow and ice and through gear effortlessly. The Evolution Duetto has been used in glacier travel and backcountry skiing for years due to its small diameter and great hand. When the terrain may be varied, the 8.4mm Duetto is a solid rope for rappels, steep snow climbs or traversing mellow ground."
