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. :/

I never tried that with any thing other than rope. It might work. It's quite flexible material.

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.

Hi Robert, I would not reccomend it for tree climbing. A static line would be more efficient. With the elasticity of standard climbing ropes ascending lines would be more tiring and slower.I hope this helps, if you have any more questions please let me know.-BennettOMC Customer Service

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.

Hi John,This is a dynamic climbing rope. Please let us know if you have any other questions.Sincerely,Alex @ WildyX

It might be hard enough, but I would be afraid you would lose too much bounce, as it will likely deaden the jump, Also, the mat is relatively tall, so the rope would probably catch too much. Good luck!

It might, but it would have to be really greased up...there have been several methods people have posted to make it a bit more slippery...baby shampoo, vegetable or olive oils...etc. I think it would work best on an incline, but hey, you never know. Good luck!!!

Actually it is. Since the rope was built for speed and its very lightweight I think you can do singles or double unders without a problem. Don't settle for just one trick, I'd recomend you try at least a few tricks because you would probably get bored doing the same thing even though you'll get better each time.

As I stated in my previous review, I don't know because I was never limber emough to climb on top of the step ladder. It was too tall for me. But I have a shorter one from the same company and I've never had a problem with slipping.

I would say no if you have a climbed. We used it before my son could walk to climb. If I used it now..my son is 18 months old.. Hed tear it to shreds!

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.

yes, but the resistance not high enough to simulate climbing steep hill. I'm only 150lbs and I have to support good part of my body weight on the handlebar or there won't be enough resistance for a climb. For me, this is the biggest disappointment. Had I known, I would've gotten something else.

It can be a little slick but it isn't too bad for working out. That's what I have been using it for and I have never had a problem. It has a texture to it that helps keep a better grip. They do stay interlocked well when you are moving around on them.

I would say yes. I do this rope pulling exercise and it handles that well, I have not climbed a rope though, but I use them for pull ups. I think they are strong enough. I love these gloves.

It is not for that purpose. I would say no it won't prevent a climber from climbing

Surface is slippery however it is also spiral wrap and I think they could climb it but dont have many of those varmits around here !
