"Tie into the Sterling Evolution Velocity 9.8mm Rope for redpoint attempts, onsighting, or long routes where low weight and durability are paramount. Sterling gave the Velocity a stiff feel for easy clipping and reduced drag, and the rope's revamped core and sheath construction give you a light rope that can stand up to a beating, whether it's at the local sport crag or ten pitches up a granite buttress."

From RockCreek:
"The 9.8mm Evolution Velocity Bi-Color Rope by Sterling is the perfect compliment to your multi-pitch, mountaineering or just sport climbing adventure. With two different designs that represent both sides of the rope, you can easily find the center, even in low light, which is helpful on rappels when descending close to dark. This is a great attribute when considering, that studies done by Sterling, shows that marking the center of your rope with a felt tipped marker or other commercial ink can decrease up to 50% of the rope strength - or the energy absorption capacity of your rope. The Velocity 9.8 is lightweight, incredibly durable and easy to handle. Its silky smooth sheath repells abrasion and slides effortlessly to reduce rope drag. All in all this is an amazing rope that offers so many advantages, it might even give you that extra boost to the top."

"We have been running these ropes at Sylvan Rocks Climbing School for the past 2 seasons. Dragging them around the Needles of Custer State Park in South Dakota, and up Devils Tower, they take quite a beating. When you are teaching people to climb, they fall, ropes get worked! We are always looking at other ropes for durability, but balanced with ease of pulling through our belay devices and such."
