Best Climbing Rope of 2025

"I didn't actually purchase this for climbing, but it solved a problem for me. It looks great and seems to last a long time, weather permitting."

"I've been using this rope for six months to haul carts full of logs through pulleys and shackle blocks. It's perfect for those tasks, although I must stress it's not for life-threatening uses."

"This rope has worked well for me as a safety tether while working on my roof. The quality is impressive, and I'm very satisfied with my purchase."

"I've just started learning rappelling and rock climbing, and I found that this rope is perfect for beginners! I recommend going with a shorter length initially for easier rope management. If you keep it in room temperature, it will last a long time."

"As a newcomer to climbing, I believed this would be the ideal rope for me, and I was correct! The quality is great, it rarely snags, and it’s not too heavy. The ATC belay devices grip it well, and I really like the blue color and halfway marker!"

"I’ve been using this rope for top rope soloing at crags, and it works great! The abrasion resistance is solid, and I feel comfortable taking falls with it."

“I bought this to practice my j-hook for an OCR, and it was perfect! It was easy to hang, well constructed, and feels soft on the hands yet durable. The price was great too—thank you!”

“I purchased this rope to prepare for Army training. I was able to climb easily, and although it wasn't exactly 20 ft, it seems sturdy. There was some shedding and a slight smell, but nothing too bad. I gave it 5 stars for its quick arrival and immediate usability.”

“We got this for our new shop to add a bit of strength training. It’s been a blast—just like gym class in the 80s! I recommend getting climbing gloves to protect your hands when coming down.”

"The media could not be loaded. This rope is top notch! The ends are solid!! I use it once a week in the gym with my sled, and it’s a game changer. So far, I’ve pulled about 270lbs with the sled, which is the max I would pull, and it works like a charm. Great buy at 20 feet!"

"The rope and attachment seem sturdy, but there is a very strong petroleum odor."

"I've used this for climbing at the gym, and now I'm excited to swing into the river! It's super heavy-duty, and it supports any adult's weight."

"I purchased this for my son who loves climbing. It's so easy to install; just loop it over the limb and secure it. He swings around the tree all the time, and it has withstood all seasons, even snow storms!"

"This rope is of nice quality and super easy to attach for practice climbing. My kids mainly use it for rope climbs on our pull-up bar, while I practice my foot placements."

"I was surprised by how well this product worked! It was put together very nicely from the buckle to the other end that is dipped."

"We bought this rope for our kids to climb and swing on. I must say, without the gloves, it can hurt your hands, but I'm hopeful it will get better as it breaks in. We hung it in the basement, and the kids absolutely love it!"

"This climbing rope is heavy and feels great to use! Its thick and sturdy design offers an excellent grip that matches professional gym standards. It's perfect for various workouts and can be mounted indoors or outdoors. Truly a fantastic addition for anyone serious about fitness!"

"I found this rope to be strong and supportive for my climbing needs. I just send it over the limb and loop it around the base of the trunk, giving me plenty of height for saddle hunting!"

"The rope was a perfect choice for replacing the ropes on my muddy climbing sticks. I appreciate the multi-braid construction, which gives me confidence in its strength!"

"This rope works great for my needs. I use it to throw out of tree tops for stringing up antenna wire, and it really excels at that!"

"I found that Rooe looks great. It came nicely packaged, and when I placed it next to my climbing rope, I couldn't see a difference. Although I’m not using it for climbing or rappelling, the savings were fantastic. I wouldn’t hesitate to use it for those purposes if necessary."

"Once I gather all my equipment, I'm excited to use this rope. I have one tree and two extra forks to take down before the cold weather hits."

"I utilized this rope to manage the fall of trees during felling, and it performed exceptionally well!"

"I used this rope to pull two trees I had to cut down; one was pulled with my tractor and the other with my truck. The rope was strong enough and completed the job flawlessly."

"After checking out the reviews, I decided to buy several of these ropes for tree and roof work. They are holding up really well and the quality is impressive for the price. I recently completed a steep pitch on a cabin using one of my new ropes with a Rig Descender, and it fed smoothly through the system. I'm still here!"

"What I appreciate is its extreme strength and the low price. I primarily use it for my boat and a few other projects. I'm glad to finally find something from Amazon made in China that seems worthwhile. While I wouldn’t use Chinese rope for mountain climbing, it's surprisingly strong and a great value, so I'm very pleased."

"This is the best dynamic rope I've climbed on. Since I started climbing in 1988, I've experienced many ropes, but this one exceeds them all. While I've often used Blue Water ropes, this has become my new go-to multi-pitch rope."

"I find this dynamic climbing rope to be great; the 70m length is more than enough for most of my climbs."

"I'm really pleased with this solid gym rope. The packaging is fantastic—no more unwinding hassles; I can just pull and start climbing right away!"

"For years, I’ve carried a 1/2” x 50ft rope in my backpack while hiking and hunting, weighing about 1.12lbs without any carabiners. I wanted something less bulky but with equal pulling and lifting capacity. I opened this bag and found a high-quality rope with some serious hardware included. It’s neatly wound up, indicating it can be carried in a much smaller package. It can hold 4000lbs more than my previous rope. I appreciate the texture, ease of cleaning, and tidy appearance. The hardware quality is impressive at 5000lb capacity—let’s hope I never need to test it. The threaded lock on the clasp works smoothly without any issues. I purchased the 32ft version, and so far, I’m impressed. Updates may follow."

"I’m an amateur climber using tree spikes and a lanyard. My approach is low and slow, setting a fall/rappelling line as a safety step. This line is excellent for this task, with a great gripping braid. I always test my hitch before relying on it. The steel ferrule in the loop might flair out under max load, but I haven't encountered this issue since I don’t exceed 50% of its rating. Weighing 2lbs, I can easily clip it to my belt and drop it down at stopping points. It’s a great 8MM rope."

"I purchased this rope for arborist work, and it held up well after several long days of tree climbing and cutting. I felt its performance was on par with other ropes and clips I’ve used before. The size and color are great, making it worth the money!"
