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.

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

It has to be a completely smooth surface and it will only take a limited amount of pressure. If you are going to pull yourself up you should have regular grab bars installed. This one is meant only to steady one's self.

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.

Not sure this is the right answer but I don't see why not. The biggest obvious issue would be just like if you were using it as a tow rope would be weight load issue. This rope is rated for two people with a max weight somewhere in the low 300lbs. Don't know exact manu. specs. I would check into that! Hope this helps

it's part of the bungee which makes it tough. Maybe try a sports shop that works with rock climbing equipment, the could probably jerry-rig it for you.

NEVER use this rope for actual climbing. Only for utility use. For mountain and wall climbing ropes, use ropes designed for that particular purpose. Yes they are more expensive, but your life is on the line. For more information about climbing ropes, contact a well respected outdoor store. Better yet try finding a local climbing club or indoor wall climbing place. Please be careful in your future climbing ventures.

The surface will dictate the longevity of the rope fibers. If you're using it on something soft, like grass/dirt, it will be ok. I use mine on martial arts mats, indoors. Probably the best combination for maximizing the rope's usage. The sun exposure will shorten the life of the ropes fibers, as well.

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.

Far as walking on it without a problem, it's very hard to do that. These slacklines aren't easy to master. The ten foot rack is easier than the free standing tree mounted lines are. More sideways movement with longer lines and much more bounce too. One of these days I will try to walk a long line.

Absolutely! It's amazingly portable, too, so you can take it anywhere and it takes up almost no space, unlike a 'rope' jump rope. I'd highly recommend it for any sort of fitness.

This stuff is NOT intended for climbing. It is originally used on parachutes to connect the parachute(at many points) to the harness.

The idea of a grappling hook is that it is thrown, entangling (grappling) itself on branches, rocks, etc. Whether you then climb is highly dependent on the solidity of the material that is locking it in and your own abilities. Proceed at your own risk! ;)

I think you could. We used a tree, but knotting the rope somehow so it doesn't slide should work.

The rope that comes with it is very sturdy, and the hook is well made and also sturdy, BUT I have no idea if it would work for your purpose, since that would be determined by your weight and other factors. Wish I could be more helpful, but I use it for tree trimming.
