I am looking to buy a new Esprit 9.1 dynamic quick draw rope at 70m in length. Esprit themselves unfortunately are not able to make dynamic ropes anymore due to them not being able by the yarn they have used all these years anymore. If anyone is out there that can help please respond. Thanks!

Matt

Esprit? I thought they made women's cloths or something like that...

I don't think I've ever heard of that brand...

Esprit is a Canadian rope manufacturer based out of Ontario. They make kick ass ropes. I used them for years untill I couldn't find any dealers out here anymore. Then faced with paying full price I made the call to stick with the deals I get and smend the extra case on more gear.

Great ropes. If they truely are not making dynamic ropes anymore it is a crying shame.

Esprit stopped making climbing ropes which is really unfortunate. I had 4 of their ropes and although they were a little of the stiff side, they served me really well.

Perhaps you can call them and ask if they have any ropes left over?
