XEROS Climbing Rope Review from Rob Pizem
We followed up with Sterling Athlete Rob Pizem, who has put more than 70,000 feet of climbing on his XEROS and it's still going! Read his in-depth review.
Sustainability: Upcycle & Recycle
Sterling operates with an incredible level of efficiency in regards to waste. Over 95% of the raw fiber that we purchase gets made into finished product rope. Everything else that does not make it into the final product gets either repurposed or recycled.
Rope Recycling Program
At Sterling, we are as passionate about preserving our outdoor spaces as we are to making the highest quality, life-safety rope in the world. To ensure what we do does nothing to harm those spaces, we’ve made minimizing what ends up in landfills a Sterling priority since Day One.
