Our Grade A manila climbing ropes are individually handcrafted with a technique known as splicing, the attachment end is braided back into itself to form a 6" loop. The spliced loop of your climbing rope forms a superior method for attaching the rope with a safe weight load limit of over 5,000 pounds, in short, it'll hold up under the toughest conditions. Our climbing ropes are designed to be easily hung over any fixed object, either use a chain and clip to hang your rope or bring the end of the rope back into the loop to secure it, check out our pics at the bottom of this page. The loop end of our climbing ropes are covered with a heavy duty nylon fabric to protect the loop from fraying. The end of your climbing rope is finished off with a heavy duty vinyl handle to also protect the rope from fray. Our Grade A manila climbing ropes can be used either in-door or out-doors, the manila fibers make for an easier climb up the rope but are tougher on your hands. We've also found that over time and with use, your manila climbing rope will soften up and will not shed as many fibers.
