Ropes

Climbing ropes are perhaps the most essential tool for a climber. Climbing ropes are primarily used in the event of a fall, as they are designed to stretch a bit, but never to break. Having a little stretch in the rope will help to reduce the impact to the climber's body. Climbing ropes are made very durable and strong, and are very different from ordinary kinds of rope. Climbing ropes consist of both an inner core of twisted fibers, and an outer core that helps to strengthen the rope, deflecting mildew and scraping. Be sure to check your ropes regularly to ensure your climbing rope is still in good working condition.
