If someone doesnt have access to a rope, would it be ok to substitute the rope climb serie for weighted chin + the rope climb mobility? Or is it really important to get a rope?

rope climp vs weighted chin?

Rope is best; weighted chins do not compare, especially for joint preparation purposes.
The Czechs can be performed on a short rope or even a long towel if necessary, for different grip stimulus
thank you! 
Weighted do not reflect the same grip, the same elbows flexor involvement, the same single arm stabilization. rope it is specific, chin up it is general. the rope can be temporary substituted with towel pullup.
Gymnastic specific rope climbing has you completing a one armed bicep curl and a one armed tricep extension, at about the same time.
