Question:
Can I use climbing ropes for swinging?
Answer:
Indeed you can use your rope for swinging - provided it is an outdoor polyplus climbing rope.
Swinging creates a great deal of friction between the top of the rope and the attachment pivot point.
Over time this can wear on manila (indoor) climbing ropes. -- please also keep in mind that
swinging on indoor ropes will void the warranty.
Our polyplus outdoor ropes are specially made
with a metal thimble at the pivot point to withstand this friction and maintain a strong, secure attachment
through heavy-duty use. More Info on
Outdoor Climbing Ropes. |
