Could you use it for climbing? Will the head, at the tip of the spike, and handle support my body weight (220 pounds) if you swing from it?

I'm not a mountain climber, but I've fiddled around with it a bit and the hammer is definitely NOT an instrument designed to aid and assist in rock climbing per se. Rock climbing gear is very different stuff and I doubt this item would be well suited to that job. However, I will say that I weight 174 pounds and when climbing a tree I jammed the hammer head/spike crossways in the notch of a branch above my head and it held my entire body weight with no problem. It is likely that it would hold someone that was 220 pounds as well if they were doing what I was doing.

Out of curiosity I tried it and it held just fine...I dont weigh as much as you (185 lbs) but it seemed to do the job just fine. Hope this helps.

I think this ladder is only rated at 200 lbs. However, as long as you use it for vertical purposes I wouldn't think it would be a problem. You can get a heavier rated ladder, but the weight factor goes up to about 30 lbs., as I recall. Good Luck.

Yes, while they are small. You may need to anchor it down and even then, it's LIGHT... But a good frame. My 8 and 10 year old use it for climbing/swinging, but with regular swings, it wouldn't be heavy enough for them now... Hope that helps...

I'd say yes but not to crazy swinging! My 6 foot 200 lb brother in law was hanging upside down on the monkey bars and it was fine! It is made of metal and is super sturdy! Would totally recommend it!!

Definitely not for a climber! My son is only about 22 lbs and stands at the front and shakes it. Its also not all that tall, to be honest. My son loves it, but he isn't a climber. It won't support that weight, I'm afraid. There are some really cute climbers with slides and whatnot on here that you might like. We got the Little Tykes All-Star one.

No. Definitely not. Climbing rope is rated to around 5000lbs and features a thick outer mantel to protect the very stretchy inner cores. Climbing on this stuff would be signing your own death certificate. Climbing falls or accidently shock loading a cord by a fall even as short as a few inches creates an enormous amount of force which this cord is not at all intended for. Shorter lengths of climbing rope are available on Amazon and you need proper training and lots of experience before venturing out and using it, but beware, many have fallen for the siren call of rock climbing.

Hi, I´m not sure, my weight 148 lbs, and don´t have any problem to climbing. I used very hard in Cusco Peru.

It will handle that weight easily. From my own experience, I found it quite difficult to learn to use. I'm still working at it.

This cord is strong but not of the strength required to hold the body weight of a fully grown person. It's thinner than a climbing rope and I would not trust it for that purpose. If you are not sure, don't buy it. Get more experience and KNOW what you need .

It is pretty sturdy for us. It has a 3000 lb capacity. We use it to do dips, so I don't know about swinging on it.

Hello, Thank you for the question.Would depend on if the climbing stand has a shooting rail that's incorporated with it, or if you plan to leave the climber in the tree and use some of the tree steps to get in and out with it. Other wise we would have to say no.Thank youWorldGoodsCorp

I bought this and I jump up and down on it.. I weigh 165lbs and it seems solid as a rock... I would think if you are under 300 lbs (and not jumping on it) it should be fine.

Unless you have 500 lbs of gear, you'll be fine. That stand is a fine piece of equipment and I've been very satisfied with the one I bought. As a matter of fact, I feel more secure in it than many of the ladder stands I hunt from. Good luck and be safe.

I use this with my whole body weight (200lb give or take). No signs of wear. I would think you should be fine. I don't think I'd go mountain climbing with it or anything...

Just leaning on it (force straight down) would be almost unlimited, just as much as the tub side wall could with stand. Side to side force, in other words, trying to pull its mount off the tub wall is very high as well. I'm 250 and I feel like I could swing on this thing. Really a strong connection to the tub. You won't be dissapointed.

We're hanging a step stoll for ours, but it is attached to a wall and less than a foot off the ground. I wouldn't recommend using it to hang anything from the ceiling and nothing over 5 pounds which if I remember correctly is the weight limit on these. That is nothing your afraid won't fall and hit someone if it did.

Yes, but be aware that the wood is too soft to support your full weight. They are meant to steady a person's balance only and are not robust enough to be used the way people think they can. If I were you, I would go to the local hardware store, buy a hoe or rake handle, put a spiked shoe on the end, drill a hole at the other end for a strap and use a homemade staff before I would depend on this staff. At least a tool handle is made of a sturdy hardwood.
