I have not used them for rope climbs, only for dead lifts, I like them and well worth it.

I am a powerlifter so only use them for deadlifts. They seem good. No sock is invincible, if you are going to constantly scrape a sock against a bar or a rope they will eventually break down. But better a $10-15 sock then your shin.

I haven't noticed fraying but i don't do much rope climbing during my training. I've used them to run two Spartan Races, both had rope climbs and my socks are still good. I use my legs during the whole climb not just my arms.

I have not had any fraying from them so far. And I have used them a lot over the hole summer from softball tournaments to the dirty dash runs.

Love them. Have 4 and haven't had any issues despite the 4 year old climbing off and on and spinning. Seem to be holding up well. Clean easily too. Just get some leather spray and a microfiber. Hope this helps...

I had no problems with fraying when I trimmed mine. I hung it inside our skylights- if they are outside, the wind may produce more wear.

We cut ours and didn't have any issues with fraying. We cut them with blade.

I bought these in october. I use them most days. They seem like they will last nicely. Seem study. I take Peru good care of my gear. Though I have dropped them a couple of times. No problems.

As a daily use rope I'd say no. That said it would work just fine for intermittent use as long as you realize it's not a fall-rated rope like a static-line or climbing rope. General use is where it's shines due to it's light weight and easy handling texture. For the money it's hard to beat.

They feel durable to me, I've used a bunch of them for moving a couple months ago and had no problems with any breaking (even with more load in them then was strictly reasonable). The plastic is a little flexible, so I doubt they are going to crack unless they stiffen substantially over time. I've not owned them for years yet, so can't conclusively say though.

Hi Molivia, Yes, you can use these ropes for climbing. They are like the ropes when we were in school in the gym that we used to climb, these ropes are perfect for that. :)

Excellent. I really beat them up - tossing them in the little bag that comes in the package, winding and unwinding them a couple of times a day, stretching them under my commuter bag strap, and sweating them up thoroughly. I haven't had any problem.

They have held up perfectly to plenty of abuse from my now 2 and 4 year-olds. No fraying, runs or tears so far.

They have held up very well. I am typically very rough on my boots. I use them a good bit and hike a along way on land and in water. Nothing on these boots has torn up. I am very pleased, especially for the price.

They were great for hiking with the dogs but I did not run with them. I do not think they would hold up because when I look at them this summer they were rusted and the chains broken as a result of that. Perhaps if you take good care to dry them after each use...hope this helps

They withstand my heavy sweating while I work out daily. So far, no problem at all after 4 months. Hope this helps.

Both are surprisingly sturdy, I've had them over a year wearing them everyday to work and nothing has broken or worn beyond expected. I'd say the weakest part are the cables; as they are very thin.

Yes, I would say they will hold till the rope breaks. Rated at 150lb, they are no joke all metal gears.

I'm not a professional tree climber but I can attest to this: they grip your hands very well and aren't excessively padded or bulky. I'd use them for climbing.
