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. :/

Absolutely not. It is a kernmantle rope but not heavy enough nor designed for such. Check out Blue Water, Singing Rock, Edelrid and such for climbing, belaying and rappelling work.

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)

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.

This is not climbing rope! Someone using it for that will get hurt or dead! Look into Bluewater climbing ropes and gear for rappelling/Climbing. This rope is only good for camping, tethering items, and practicing knots.

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.

Yes, but I would not recommend using Manila rope for an outside swing. Manila weakens and rots over time due to rain, moisture, UV. One day a year or two from now, you'll climb on the swing, get up to max height and the rope will break - there goes your back, an arm, or a pelvic bone. Use a rope rated for outside or marine(water) applications - nylon maybe. Use 1" or 2" dia. Be safe - especially if children may use the swing.

Actually, I have all the reason to rope straight up is the easiest. If you have the pulley set to wide (wider than our object), it will take slightly more force to pull it up. The fact is you will be pulling 4 times the distance of vertical travel in exchange for using 1/4 of the force that is needed to pull. But besides properly place the pulley above, the easiest way to pull up the object of desire is to pull with one hand and put the object up with the other. I do it with my bike and it is rather easy. Perhaps you can ask for a second set of hands for help. Enjoy.

Absolutely! This is a great outdoor product for kids or anyone with the urge to climb.

Its Dynamic. You Wouldn't use a static rope for climbing and i dont think anyone would sell someone a static rope for climbing, as it i advertised a climbers package

I have two hooked up in my garage. One I use for rope climbing and the other has my heavy bag hanging from it. They both have been great so far. I don't think you will have any problems.

No this rope is not for climbing. This is an all purpose rope ideal for many different camping and survival uses.

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.

You will, but they won't hold as well as they would in tubular climbing webbing. This stuff is pretty slick, so if you're planning on using it for any weight-bearing purposes I wouldn't trust it.

It's a bit steep, my bunny makes the jump instead of climbing. You might be able to put something on the ramp (which does have little steps) so it's grippier. Or maybe put something low next to the ramp to give a boost. But the ramp on it's own might be a bit daunting.

It's not designed for that and doesn't have a place where you could hook a rope up that would take any kind of pressure. You MIGHT be able to move it from one location to another tied behind a boat, or a sea-doo, but I don't think you could pull people in it.

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.
