This has been asked before but I don't see any answers: can this be used to climb up like the manila ropes or is it too slick?

I've never tried using the rope to climb, but it shouldn't be too slick to use to climb.

Hi I really dont think it would be a good idea. the rope is very slick and unless it has lots of wear and tear on it I dont think it would be a good idea. im using my rope now for about a month and its still pretty smooth. i would suggest getting a rope thay frays. hope this was helpful

The 2" dia is pretty big but other than that I don't see why you can't climb this rope. I don't think it would be too slick. It has hand grips on either side so I'm not sure if that is it's intended use, thought.

I have used this type of rope for climbing. I bought some grip tape an wrapped it at intervals the length of the climb. It worked fine. 1.5in dia. is the most common for climbing.

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. :)

Maybe with some good gloves? It is kinda slick being a poly fiber. I haven't tried it but I think it'd be tough. :/

This product is for one time use and is not for repelling. It catches you when you are sitting in a tree and fall but not meant for regular use. The rope itself is thick like repel rope but I don't know if its appropriate for that. The ropes seem like a very high quality (I just can't speak to 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 John, This is a dynamic climbing rope. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Sincerely, Alex @ WildyX

Yes it can it is a super toy and my grand son loves it . I would caution you if he is a climber and to keep one eye on him in case he decides to climb, never a safe idea . item is sturdy and made very well.

Yes. I would go a step further and say it should be used any time you are using a climber or a lock on deer stand. I would just run it outside the climber so the rope is clear as you are climbing. Just slide the knot up as you go. Safety first always have a plan in case you fall.

Absolutely. I would not use this as a 'trick' rope i.e. crossovers, etc. But if you're just looking to do standard single understand, double understand, and alternating leg this is a solid jump rope.

The term is "rappelling" and no, this rope is not made for technical climbing. You should use only ropes bought at outdoor stores made specifically for climbing or caving for rappelling or doing any rope work involving body weight and your life.

I have no experience in rope climbing, so cannot comment on that. I used it to grab brush and pull out with a tractor and it worked great for that. Sorry I can't be more help.

No, it is extremely slippery for one, and it has absolutely no internal support. It would be like trying to stand on a floating carpet. This would only be mildly useful for small (skinny) children, or someone who is just looking for a flotation device that resembles a surfboard.

Not this particular rope, you'll need something thicker made from manilla. If it's for lifting stuff find som3thing at a higher gauge if you need it to.lift people or animals ect find a nice synthetic.

I didn't purchase it to climb with, I use it to bring down hay bales from the top of an 88 bale stack. And, it did not fare well ... the hook arms need to be welded solid, they broke loose for us and my nephew was going to have them welded before using it again. Boy, depending on it with full body weigh (bales average 110-125 lbs) I don't know if I would depend upon this piece of equipment!

Never. I've had it on carpeting (Berber) and on hardwood and it's always remained very stable. My grandson who uses it is 3 and has never tried to climb on it that I'm aware of. I have a younger grandson who's not yet crawling ... but I seriously doubt he could do anything to it that would make it tip over. It really is very stable.

Thank you for the reply. Its just there isnt enough room for me to get a regular ladder for them. I thought the rope would save a space and also allow them to climb. Do you suggest any other product that might be safe and also save space.

I don't use it for that but think it would do fine and better than any other grabber I've seen. It has nice fat rubber tips with tread on them so they shouldn't slip as much as others would. The handle is aluminum and strong. You will need a strong grip on the lever to hold that much but I'd try it.

First of all,I'm not a climber,but they must carry more gear to do a climb than anybody!This bag is definitely not for ropes,too small,a North Face duffel would be better.Hammers,carabiners,wedges,rosin bags,small stuff,OK?
