Separately, the ropes are not rated to handle large falls, but together they provide for the same protection as a single rope. Advantages include their lightweight construction, the ability to rappel a full rope length, and the redundancy factor.
Dynamic climbing ropes generally range from 30 - 80 m in length. A 60 m rope is considered standard nowadays, although at many crags around the world climbers are setting routes with anchors that require a 70 m rope to lower back to the ground.
Guidebooks also come in handy for this purpose, as they outline route heights and rappel distances. For climbers that travel around the world, owning both a 60 m and a 70 m rope has definite benefits.
Modern rope brands address this issue by adding a water-repellent coating to rope fibers during the manufacturing process. This is called dry treatment - and it has more benefits than simply keeping your rope dry.
Depending on how much you cut off, you may want to cut the same length off on the other side to make the ends equal, restrict its use to gym climbing or top roping, make a new middle mark and constantly remind yourself and your partner(s) where it is, or retire the rope entirely.
Golden Dry treatment makes it both water and abrasion resistant, which is absolutely necessary when alpine climbing. Its small diameter limits its use, but for exclusively alpine climbing, the Beal Joker Golden is hard to beat.
Some of the most important stats on a rope are safety ratings, including Maximum Impact Force, which is how much energy the rope transfers to your body in a fall, and the number of UIAA test-falls it sustains before breaking. You can read the whole document, _101_7_ropes_may_2016.pdf Falls here. Any rope can be put in a situation where it fails, but commercially available climbing ropes have passed the standards for dynamic climbing rope set by the UIAA.
Length is a factor as well. Most modern climbers use a rope that is between 60 and 70 metres-long in the outdoors. The extra length of a 70-metre rope can come in handy for top-roping and longer sport routes where you have to lower back to the ground. At many crags, routes are now developed to 80-metre ropes. For many areas, however, a 60-metre rope is sufficient.
This rope has a nice hand and feels like a lighter rope than it is, given its beefy diameter. It has a dry core treatment to help keep it lighter when wet. The low average static stretch rate makes it a solid choice for top-roping.
WesSpur offers short lengths of tree climbing and rigging line at clearance prices. These clearance ropes are left overs from the end of rope reels and are not used, damaged, or otherwise different from the new arborist climbing and rigging lines we sell. Short lengths of rope are great for smaller lines, practicing splicing, or making your own lanyards, slings, and haul lines.
From time to time our splicing department will run into short or long lengths at the end of their rope reels, and make spliced products that are a little longer or shorter than the normal product specs. These odd-ball lengths are spliced to the same rigorous standards as our normal product, but available here with a discount applied to the rope.
For many beginning climbers, buying their first rope is often a huge step. New climbers looking for a durable, long lasting rope need not look any further than the Edelrid Boa Eco 9.8mm Climbing Rope.
Edelrid is a German company, specializing in mountaineering, climbing, and rope access gear. Though perhaps not as well known in the U.S. as other brands like Black Diamond and Petzl, Edelrid has a long, rich history of manufacturing quality rock climbing equipment.
Before the Boa Eco, I had never owned an Edelrid product. I knew that other Edelrid products, like the Edelrid Ohm (Affiliate Link) are well regarded. Keeping my expectations open, I went ahead and purchased this rope.
After extensive use, I am now convinced that Edelrid is a competent company that produces safe, high quality climbing gear. If Edelrid makes crafts their other rope to the same standards, then I will be likely to purchase from them in the future.
Unique among ropes, Edelrid assembles the Boa Eco from all the leftover material on the rope factory floor. Excess yarns and composites, normally tossed into the trash, are instead repurposed into a full strength, dynamic climbing rope.
I do not recommend taking a 40m rope outdoors. Most outdoor climbing areas require at least a 60m to climb and descend safely. For more information on making the transition from indoor to outdoor climbing, check out our handy tips.
At 62 grams per meter, the weight of the rope did not impede my sport climbing performance. Certainly there are better, lighter ropes available, but the Boa Eco will get the job done. The responsive nature of the rope ensured that clipping into quickdraws and anchors was simple-an oft overlooked quality necessary during harder climbing.
If sport climbing is your primary aim, I highly recommend purchasing the 60m length over the 70m. Most sport routes rarely require more than 60 meters. Bringing a whole 70m rope to a sport crag only results in extra weight, and more rope to coil and manage.
I purchased the Boa Eco in the 70m length with multi-pitch and trad climbing in mind. So far, it has not disappointed. This rope has proven to be a trustworthy companion for long days in the mountains.
I enjoyed using this rope on rappel descents. The middle is clearly marked, making rappel setup a breeze, and it was easy to load into a device. Call it luck, but the Boa Eco rarely seemed to get snagged when pulled from an anchor.
The Boa Eco can hold up to the rigors of climbing life. Descending, top roping, and a few falls have left little wear. The one downside I can think of is the sheath patterns. The Boa Eco is not double sided-a less than ideal design for rappelling, or simulclimbing. With careful management, though, these will not be an issue.
Retailing at a sub $200 price point, the Boa Eco is an accessible, entry level dynamic line. Similar ropes can be found at this price range, each with their own pros and cons. Many of the same features are present, but I think that the main advantage that another rope may have over the Boa Eco is color.
Environmentally conscious climbers can rest easy knowing that the Boa Eco was made with minimal impact, while keeping to the safety standards of normal climbing equipment. Sport, Trad, and gym climbers will all get great use out of this rope. I intend to purchase another Boa Eco as soon as my current rope needs to be retired.

The dual-surface sheath design provides a noticeably more compact and smoother sheath structure. The surface of the rope thus generates less friction and runs smoothly.
With a sheath percentage of 37 %, the rope is slightly below the indoor climbing rope average (approx. 40 %) and is therefore not as durable as the Boa Gym. However, the Mambo Wall is noticeably softer and very pleasant to handle.
Of course, 60 m can also be enough; again, it depends on where you will be climbing. If you travel a lot and want to climb in different areas, then I definitely recommend buying a longer climbing rope.
Weight (usually) only plays a negligible role in indoor climbing ropes. On the one hand, because there is usually not a long approach, and on the other hand because the routes are often short and straight.
Out on the rock, a rope with dry treatment or other additional treatment is always worth the money since your rope inevitably ends up in the dirt from time to time. Climbing ropes with an additional protective layer and special treatment are significantly less sensitive and last longer. 781b155fdc
