Good price. I cut it in half. Useful for extending anchors.

5 EdInNY
[ This is a nice sturdy cord. Has many uses for camping et al-- good quality, reasonable price, fast shipping. Very glad that I found it here.

5 Nikolangelo
[ I got one of these a few months back. I bought it to build an anchor for sport lead climbing. I built a quad anchor with a double fishermans knot and it works great!

5 Andrew
[ It ’s fairly light which makes it good when you ’ re going fast and light. It ’s great for building anchors or doing pretty much whatever you might need at the moment. I will definitely get more when mine are tapped.

5 Pete
[ Love this cordellette, perfect size for setting up a quad for an anchor. The fact that it is sewn makes it way easier to use. Not having to tie a double fisherman ’s and having the low profile sewn portion that binds the cordellette together makes a big difference in the ease of use.

5 Ozark Climber
I bought this rope about a month ago. Previously I had a 10. 1 60M. After switching to to a 9. 2 I 'll never go back. This rope feeds like butter through the grigri 2, it packs up small, and weights nothing in my pack. I also have a friend that used this rope in 24HHH last year, and it held up like a champ. I would recommend this rope to anyone.

5 Tbonez
[ This rope rocks... 30 meters is just perfect for some short alpine cragging. So far so good!

5 Jason
[ I got this rope in grey for ice climbing and general mountaineering and love it! I bought the 70 meter and overall it's a little smaller and lighter than my other 60 meter ropes just because of its small diameter

5 Traveler
[ I purchased the Petzl Volta rope for general mountaineering and have been very happy with the performance. The sheath has a smooth surface that is easy to handle and easy on the hands. The supple construction makes knotting easy it feeds through my GriGri beautifully. At 9. 2mm it is not too big and not too small for my equipment and needs.

5 Kuniyoshi
Love this rope to multipitch in groups of three. It's so light( makes long approaches so much better) and the sheath has a surprisingly long wear life for its size. Handling is fantastic. I would n't use it on hangdog days, but for sending or just cruising pitches it's great. I love that it's triple certified: I use it as a half rope or single.

5 snowryder
[ Purchased this a few weeks ago ahead of a trip to Zion. Have taken it out three times and have about 15 rappels on it- mostly double rope, but not all. I have used ATC, ATS, and Hyrobot rappel devices without issue. Have used hollow block and 5mm nylon auto blocks as well. Really like its light weight. I take care to not beat up on my ropes so I ca n't easily confirm how much more durable it is compared to something like Sterling's HTP rope, but it seems to be holding up fine after three outings. I have no buyer's remorse on spending a few extra dollars.

5 mrjazzitup
[ Two day shipment was super fast. Came in coiled up and it took a while to get it untangled. Probably need to run it once to completely get rid of kinks and twists. Other than that, rope performed flawlessly running through the canyons in SoCal.

5 Cream
[ Great canyoneering rope. Resistant to abrasion, sheds water well, packs down nice and is n't to heavy. I use this rope for commercial guiding and it holds up really well.

5 MtnSam
[ The Sterling Rope C- IV 9mm Rope is a fantastic rope for canyoneering. It's supple yet rugged and durable, lightweight, and stacks in a bag easily. Best used for dry canyons but can also be used in water.

5 mastercontrolprogram
[ One of my go- to ropes for canyoning. Thick enough for easy bare- handed rappelling and good control yet light weight and packs small considering it is 9mm. I think it gets a little bouncy for my taste when wet so I use it primarily in dry canyons but it has handled fine in wet canyons as well. Great abrasion resistance with its Technora sheath! I currently own three of these in different lengths

5 Valdet
Nice length, thickness and overall a great rope! Good middle mark.

5 Sami
[ This is the best rope I have used for sport climbing thus far. For my upcoming climbing trip to Spain, I was looking for a new rope that would have minimal drag and high durability while also being conducive to light handling( both for clipping and belaying) and soft catches; this rope meets all of those requirements. As soon as you take it out of the package, you can use it immediately without needing to flake it. The rope is lightweight, which makes it easy to clip, and dirt does not adhere to it easily due to the smooth sheath. At 9. 5mm, this rope handles much more nicely than thicker ropes when using a grigri. The diameter is perfect and makes the rope lighter without sacrificing safety; I tried it on rock with some really sharp flakes and edges in NH, and never felt unsafe. Falling on it felt great as well. As an additional bonus, the orange color is striking and stands out on the wall.

5 A fish
[ This big rope is very beautiful, the perfect weight, it is my perfect protection in the climbing process, there is a certain amount of stretch, in use is very safe

5 Chainsaw
[ I just purchased this rope for the second time. It is light, easy to clip, feeds nicely. For not being bi- pattern, the middle mark stays visible for a suprisingly long time.

5 Weston
[ You could n't pay me to switch ropes. This is one beautiful, high- quality rope that leaves all the climbers that have seen it in awe. I bought this rope because it was one of the highest recommended ropes on the internet. I have been out at the New River Gorge in West Virginia with it and it performed amazing. It is a 9. 5mm so it fits perfectly within the three star rating for the GriGri 2 and the GriGri+. This rope feeds SMOOTH. I use the GriGri+ and man, I have had so many people comment about how great the rope feeds through the belay devices. It gives the perfect amount of smooth without sacrificing safety. I gave the 4 stars on durability because I have n't had the rope for long so I just do n't know it's durability. It also is a bit smaller so naturally there will be more wear, quicker on the rope. I will say there is a little bit of a marketing error. The gold rope color is definitely gold with black dots within it. It's NOT brown/black with some gold in it. I 've included a picture of me climbing with it where you can actively see that the color, even from afar.

[ I bought this rope about 7 years ago and am getting ready to retire it. It's been a great rope. It handles well and works great for top roping and sport( I 've taken it on trad climbs too, but just been the follower). It's a little thicker than lots of ropes out there now, but great for durability and an excellent beginner rope. It was stiff at first but after a few falls and uses it's great. This rope is a great price point compared with others. Petzl has great products. I 'd highly recommend this rope to anyone looking to get into climbing outside that needs a workhorse for all different kinds of climbing. It works with ATC and Grigri.

Just wrapped up guiding two weeks ’ guiding in the Black Hills with two of these 80m cords( required for some of the extended pitches and TR situations we were rigging for clients.). Rope selection is always a trade off, but I was surprised by how light and packable these were- and even more surprised by how well they held up to group TR days over long pitches of rough rock. Price is a sweet spot, too. I ’ ll be stocking more of these for sure.

I would and have already trusted my life to this product. A+.

[ I bought this rope to use as a cordelette for building anchors at the top of trad climbs. It works really well and has excellent strength rating. I found the rope a little bit stiff when I first got it but it softened up with some usage. BTW I turned this rope into a cordelette by tying the ends together in a double fisherman's. Highly recommend. I would never lead a climb without a rope like this to string up in emergency scenarios.

5 Ken H.
This is my third BD 9. 4 Dry, not because they wear out or need replaced for some reason, but because I have them in different lengths because they 're the best rope I 've ever used! This time I got the 40m because my local crags here in PA are only 18m so it's perfect- very little rope laying on the ground and lighter to back in and out! What a great idea BD to make this 40m rope! I LOVE it!!! Thanks!

5 Joe D.
This rope is ready to roll right from the box with minimal break in needed. It ’s durable and coil ’s easily.

Versatile and convenient ... The longer length means I have to make slightly more wraps as an autoblock on my leg loop to prevent it from hitting my rappel device but this might be the perfect motivation to extend my rappel device like I should have been doing

5 Seibert
[ I wanted to upgrade/replace my 6mm cord which was tied in a loop with a double fisherman. I use the cord mainly to autoblock rappels, occasionally as a prussik. I 'm also not too ashamed to admit that I occasionally use it as a step on sport routes to cheat through a move. I wanted something a little longer for klemheist hitches, less bulky( sewn vs tied) and stronger. This was perfect. I got the longer length so that I would have plenty to wrap around for more secure friction hitches and to make sure I could continue to step into it to cheat through sections of climbs. The increased strength gives me more options for the material if needed. The longer length means I have to make slightly more wraps as an autoblock on my leg loop to prevent it from hitting my rappel device but this might be the perfect motivation to extend my rappel device like I should have been doing anyways. Regardless, without rappel extension, it still allows a pretty smooth movement with the extra wraps. And the flat material makes the klemheist much nicer.

[ Works like a charm! It ’s very durable and light. Fits easily on your harness. 10/10 would recommend to others. I use it as a third hand while rappelling

[ I always pack some 550 with a carabiner already attached. I like the small light weight carabiner because I can quickly setup a ridge line only having to tie one knot. So this just made sense for me. It is hard to find the color black locally so that's a win too.

5 Beans
[ This is the first climbing rope that I have purchased, and I have taken it out twice now to top rope. I really like how the neon green pops on the rock. The rope has lots of give that makes an unexpected fall like riding a Johnny- Jump- Up. Very comfortable. I also really like the bright yellow end markers but those are tape and I think they will fall off soon. There is a middle mark on the rope, but it ’s not bright, so meh.

5 Bill
[ This rope has a dry cover treatment so it's slick enough to keep the grit of Smith Rock out of it, and just small enough to belay from above with a Reverso comfortably. I 'm pretty happy with the handling and feel of the rope so far and the weight per meter is without question amazing. My only question is in regards to durability when rapping over sharp edges, but with the Unicore peace of mind that concern is much less so than other ropes I 've used.

  • What is the importance of rope diameter when tying knots?

Frequently Asked Questions For Rope For Tying Knots

When selecting a rope for tying knots, consider options made from durable materials like nylon or polyester, as they provide strength and flexibility. Ropes with a smooth texture are often easier to manipulate, allowing for tighter and more secure knots. Additionally, the diameter of the rope can affect knot performance; thinner ropes may be easier to tie but could slip more easily than thicker ones.

Key features to look for in a rope for tying knots include tensile strength, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion. A rope that is lightweight yet strong will facilitate easy handling and knot tying. It's also beneficial to choose a rope with low stretch to maintain knot integrity under load.

Yes, certain ropes are better suited for specific types of knots based on their construction and intended use. For example, climbing ropes are designed to handle dynamic loads and may be ideal for knots used in climbing or rescue situations. Conversely, utility ropes may be more appropriate for general-purpose knots used in outdoor activities or securing items.

The material of a rope significantly impacts its knot-tying capabilities. Ropes made from synthetic fibers like nylon or polyester tend to be more durable and resistant to wear, making them ideal for repeated knot tying. Natural fiber ropes, while traditional, may not hold knots as securely and can degrade over time when exposed to moisture.

Rope diameter plays a crucial role in knot tying, as it affects the ease of tying and the security of the knot. Thicker ropes can create more friction, which may help hold knots better, while thinner ropes can be easier to manipulate but might slip under load. It's essential to choose a diameter that balances ease of use with the intended application of the knot.
