Question: How is your manila climbing rope different than the manila rope that I can find much cheaper at the hardware store?

Answer:

The most important difference is the quality of the Manila used in the ropes. This is measured by something called a Becker Value scale which takes into account the color, consistency and overall performance of the manila during use.

The reason that the manila you see in the hardware store and elsewhere is so much cheaper is that it is much lower in quality. This is also why you tend to get rope splinters if you decide to go that route. Ouch.

The Becker Value listed on the cheap stuff is 36 - good for towing tugboats and such but bad for climbing.

Our manila ropes however, feature a Becker Value of 40, the absolute highest quality available. You simply cannot do any better. Also, another important distinction is the attachment hardware. The majority of the list "price" of our climbing ropes is due to the proper installation of the attachment hardware which has to be done by a trained professional. This steel clamp is attached to the rope with a hydraulic press, drilled, tapped and welded into place for the best value in terms of functionality and safety.
