TENDON Hammer 3 mm Standard Rope

These ropes are used in single strands, so they are ideal where there is no increased danger of ropes being severed by falling rocks. They are appropriate for rocks, cliffs, vertical rock faces, artificial walls and for climbing big walls. Simple ropes usually have a diameter of 9 mm or greater. As ropes get thicker, they get stronger and withstand more falls. Unfortunately, they also get heavier. That is why you need to choose the right balance between thickness and weight. This will depend on the experience of the climber and the nature of the climbing involved. Experienced climbers prefer thin, light ropes. On the other hand, beginners or less experienced climbers choose thicker ropes with better safety parameters. When climbing new routes where the risk of falling is greater, a thicker, heavier rope is more appropriate. On long, multiple pitch routes, you need to make a compromise between thickness and weight. Of course, everything depends on the experience of the climber. For top rope climbing, we recommend using ropes made for that purpose – indoor ropes. Choosing the right rope will prolong its life many times.
