Kevin Easton Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I was looking around and saw a bunch of options for climbing ropes whats the best material and diameter?' https://www.knotandrope.com/store/pc/home.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Dano Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 36mm rope is standard here that's about 1.5 inch. Manila or synthetic manila. I like the synthetic for home use since it doesn't shed but still has good grip. All other types of synthetic are pretty slippery and I find them unpleasant to use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That grease layer on your hands has to come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Easton Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 If I wanted to secure a climbing rope in the ceiling of my garage how would I safely do this? I'd need to secure it to the roof trusses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Dano Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 The two main options are to use a steel rope bracket which is attached to the rope with bolts, or making an eye loop at the end of the rope. There are YouTube videos on how to do this. Many online stores that sell rope will also sell the bracket or offer an finishing service and will do the ends for you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole Dano Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 There isn't one really, it just depends on how high the ceiling you are mounting it to is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
