How to Choose the Right Climbing Rope for Tree Work
Share
Intro:
Not all climbing ropes are created equal. The rope you choose can impact your comfort, safety, and performance in the canopy.
Factors to Consider:
- Diameter: 11–13mm is standard. Thicker ropes offer more grip
- Material: Polyester vs. Nylon – Polyester stretches less.
- Kernmantle Construction: Durable and safe for tree climbing.
- Length: 120', 150', and 200' are popular.
- Splice Type: Tight splice or sewn eye for easy connection.
