Question: What method should I use to hang my manila climbing rope?

Answer:

Climbing ropes must be hung from structurally safe framework which will exceed any load placed on the rope. Most beam and ceiling framework in institutional buildings will meet this criteria, however, always confirm this with your building plans and/or building engineer.

You will want to raise your ropes up out of reach or path of other students or activities whenever ropes are not in use, so select an area accordingly. Also, locate climb ropes no further that the rope length away from the wall. This allows a pulley installed high on the wall to pull rope up and over, thus out of the way.

Do not locate ropes too close to wall where objects on wall could interfere or injure a climber by impairing proper spotting and supervision. You will need mats around climbing area and a thick landing mat directly under climbing rope for safety purposes. At no time should manila Climbing ropes be used outdoors.
