The Sprint rope comes
in two diameters which cover the two main performance bases.
Sprint 8.4mm Ropes
A true, thin, performance
rope like the Sprint 8.4mm rope is a modern essential for the
discerning climber who wants to make sure they have an edge in
all parts of their rack. They are designed for the climber who
perhaps has that little more experience to enable them to appreciate
a lighter and more flexible rope, whilst acknowledging that more
care, attention and control must be paid to it’s use. The
8.4mm was chosen for our initial range as we felt it’s diameter
gave the best great balance between the ruggedness (but weight)
of a 9mm without going to the more extreme lightweight (but difficult
to control) 8/8.1mm offerings.
Sprint 8.4mm Super Dry Features:
BCC, DCC, SD, MM This is a superb rope for
a variety of climbers: ‘tradders’ on long or short
mountain routes, sea cliffs or outcrops; alpinists, mountaineers
and Scottish winter enthusiasts. Lighter to carry, more flexible
and lighter to reduce weight and drag on a long pitch, and with
a flexible confidence inspiring feel, it’s the ideal stage
to move on to as grades are being pushed, coerced or conquered.
The double dry treatment of core and outer means it will withstand
extremes well, and it also adds to the general longevity of the
rope by protecting the fibres with its coating.
Although not featuring the same USP sheath as the Enduro range,
we have actually kept a relatively high percentage of fibres in
it but braided it with finer yarns in a smoother pattern. This
means that although the 8.4mm is thinner, we have kept the core
protection to a maximum with a great balance of handling and durability
to boot. Once again we have picked two colours, blue / orange,
with names that have different sounds and syllable lengths and
a distinct light / dark match to avoid dangerous mix-ups in less
favourable conditions. Available in a wider variety of lengths
for more adventurous climbing.
