Heavy duty, useful climbing rope

I have different types of rope for different purposes. I ordered it for use as a climbing rope, for exercising, and also for emergencies if I ever needed an exit from a second floor window, such as in the event of a fire. In fact, I keep it upstairs near the second floor window. This rope is comfortable to grip, resilient, and easily supports my weight. The listing has a maximum load capacity of 4188 pounds, so it should support anyone and their gear. It comes with a cute little storage pouch. This rope is 10.5mm or just under half an inch in diameter, so a strong grip is required for climbing. It's quick and easy to tie, and placing knots about 2 feet apart makes it easy to climb. It can also be used with many mechanical clamps. I've found that the best way to place climbing knots is to start in the middle and then work outwards from both ends, placing the knots 2 feet apart and placing the end knots last, about 4 feet from removed from each end. Then I tie the top end with a bowline knot and leave the bottom end as it is. This entire process takes a total of 5 to 10 minutes. This shortens the rope, so I try to start with enough rope so that the finished product's length meets my needs. This rope holds any number of knots well. The ends of this rope are tied together with plastic to keep it from unraveling. The plastic seems strong enough, but maybe not as strong as the rope itself, so I'll see how well it holds up.

Pros
  • Widely used
Cons
  • Heavy duty
