Question: What makes your manila climbing rope different from the manila rope that I can find cheaper at the hardware store?

Answer:

The quality of the Manila used in our ropes is measured by something called a Becker Value which takes into account its color, consistency and overall performance 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, bad for climbing.

Our manila ropes however, feature a Becker Value of 40, the absolute highest quality available. You simply cannot do any better. 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.
