Designed specifically for the gym, the 9.9mm rope from Black Diamond checks all the boxes. It is thick, it has three sizes to choose from, and its impact force reaches the safe mark of 8.4kN. This model can become your right hand in regards to learning how to climb and do so efficiently.
Since most gym facilities demand their customers to bring their own ropes, you will greatly benefit from investing in this item. Investing is not even the right term – its low cost of $100 is merely a small-scale asset that will, however, last you a long time with proper care. Sure, this model does not have dry treatment or Unicore technology, but this is not a necessity in gym settings anyway.
You will get plenty of use out of it considering how heavy-duty it is and won’t even notice how good you’ve gotten at climbing within a few weeks or months.
