Sterling Fusion Nano Dry

This I Sterling's Fusion Nano Dry rope.  It is 9.2mm, and can cost anywhere from $181.95, to $264.95, depending on the length of the rope, or whether they call it "dry" or not.  It seems like a very good rope, it's lightweight, durable, and it's #9 on Amazon's top 20 ropes list.  I don't know that their's much of a difference between the "dry" rope and the ones that aren't but the not-dry ones are cheaper, so I would get one of those.  It is available in 60m, 70m, and 80m.

The Petzl Xion

This 10.1mm rope is a very good all-around lead rope.  It is one of Petzl's thicker ropes, but it still seems to be fairly lightweight.  Because it is thicker, it is very durable.  It will last a lot longer than a lot of other smaller mm ropes.  But I guess that would be the same with all thicker ropes.  The price of the rope is around $200, which I think is a fair price, but there are a lot of other ropes in this range that might also compete with this rope.
