The ropes are durable and just like the ones at the gym. czcams.com/users/postUgkxTFxba6lNeHrZaHoY_LXe6ZzmMfaipnwu Caution: I bought the 50 feet ropes and they are long and heavy so make sure you have the space (I do have the space). If I was to do it again I would probably get a shorter version as 50 feet (25 feet each side) is a little long.
Thats it! time to buy rope to rappel out my window! There's treasure down in the bushes.
How did the treasure hunt fare?
thanks for the info
Brilliant!
Thanks!
Nice info! I wold like to lenrn more abouth uaii fall retting
yes.
Amazing video!!
Which type will be more suitable for classic mountaineering/alpinism/andinism? Is a half rope just ok o it needs to be a heavy single rope for glacier crossing or going up though a gully?
Sebastián Arsenio Morales Zavala if you’re just roping up for glacier travel you would generally use a very thin diameter dry treated single rope in a 30-40 meter length. If long technical rock/ice pitches are in the climb then the rope would probably be adjusted in length to account for that.
1st comment! Yay! Is it true if that if you want to climb in Indian Creek you should get a 80m rope?

First
I dont get it. Those ropes are thousands of pounds rated. They dont need to be 11mm thick. Unless you weight like a ford excursion
When you fall, you can exert a lot more force on the rope than your weight.
they are whats called "dynamic" rope and are designed (specifically for climbing) to stretch under load to cushion the impact of a fall. They are thicker than static ropes in proportion to their load rating because of this
Clear as mud. Nice job lady.
What's not to understand?
I'm not a climber in any way. I'm as green and noodle-armed as they come. I'm going to my first class soon, and even I understood this.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Meters, ????????.. Could you throw in. Feet... 120 foot long.. 150 foot long rope... Diameter of rope.. = 3/8- inch- 7/16- inch... 3/4 inch..
.. Love your efforts, in the 🇺🇸..
We are not so much into the metric system... It's bad enough with wrenching on vehicles..
My self I love learning more/ hitches, knots.. Bends...
Should I need to climb or ???.
MABY standard/ feet and inches..
Please...
just multiply by 3.3. It's not super challenging
Climbing ropes aren't really sold with feet and inches as the measurement. Its all metric measurements. Even American companies use metric for climbing ropes.
Use an online conversion chart if you really need to know the imperial measurements.
They sell them in metric... So don't be rude and embarrass the rest of us
I think of a meter as a yard, approx 3ft. It’s not exact but you can do the exact math later 👍
