You should ask for a hard wearing 'adventure centre spec' rope that will take a bit of a battering. Don't worry about going for a super-duper, lightweight, very expensive rope - no need.Nathan Kingerleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05715577148470557736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7273808714812343712.post-16299914262104132912011-04-01T05:23:11.068-07:002011-04-01T05:23:11.068-07:00Where's a good place to buy climbing rope in D...Where's a good place to buy climbing rope in Dublin? Any particular brands offer good quality or value? Oddly enough, the wall at UCD will rent you everything bar rope, which is probably the thing a new climber is least likely to have.Irishmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09403955004639501833noreply@blogger.com
