Rope Ladders Provide moderately challenging access to high elements or an alternative to staple climbs. In the traditional design, hardwood rungs are double-lashed on 3-strand Multiline rope with waxed nylon cord. The premium design uses the same hardwood rungs but is cleverly constructed with brightly colored New England Sta-Set line so that the uniquely anchored rungs will not loosen or slip, making them maintenance-free. Professional installation required.

Dynamic Rope
Advances in fiber construction, state-of-the-art machinery and evolving standards have led to belay and lifeline ropes being designed for specific uses. Dynamic rope remains the top choice for challenge course facilities, outdoor programs, and climbing schools. Dynamic ropes are designed for high impact loads and provide a measure of "cushion" which limits the force on anchor points and the climber.

Static Rope
Static rope was originally designed for rescue operations. These ropes feature high tensile strength, low stretch, good abrasion resistance and reduced spinning tendencies when used as a single line rappel rope. These ropes are not normally recommended for belaying high impact elements such as trapeze dives and other jumping elements.In the challenge course industry, the 7/16" size works well with most descending devices for double line rappel systems. This size is also appropriate as a belay line in those situations where minimal stretch is warranted. Larger diameter 1/2" static line creates additional friction between the rope and rappel device, making it a good choice for single-line rappels. You should also choose 1/2" diameter as the haul rope in activities such as the Flying Squirrel.
