How Do I Compare Different Ropes for my Climbing Gear?
Before you go out and buy a rope to add to your arsenal of climbing gear, the most important thing you should do is compare them side by side so you get the perfect rope for the slope you’re going to be scaling. You need to compare the diameter of each rope you’re considering, keeping in mind that the wider the diameter the stronger it will be. Next, consider the weight of the rope and what it’s able to hold and finally, and most importantly, compare the fall rating. You need to know that your rope will be able to hold your weight should the unexpected happen.
