Decided to have 1yr old Sterling C-IV tested
-Originally purchased from CRUZR in Dec 2022
-Sterling C-IV has a (new) tensile strength of 4663lbs
-This particular rope is 1yr old and has 100+ sits on it. It also has been submerged in water for over 24 hours.
-it's been left out for months on wild life areas and exposed to everything from freezing conditions, to 90* F humid conditions.
Results: Broke at 4388lbs mid line. A roughly 5.9% decrease in tensile strength.
This test was for entertainment purposes. Many things I exposed the rope to, go against best safety practices. Climb at your own risk.
