Never climb on a rope that has been used for rigging.
We get this question all the time! There is no answer that fits everyone. It seems like new arborist ropes are coming out all the time. Keep these principles in mind and you'll be able to find the tree ropes that work for you.
We only sell climbing ropes built by manufacturers we trust. Our ropes meet the requirements of the ANSI Z133 standard for Arboriculture Operations. We might recommend one rope over another for a certain purpose, but no rope is ‘the best’ arborist climbing rope. At WesSpur, when someone asks for a rope recommendation, we will first ask, how are you using the rope? With this question answered, we can help you find good rope options. Fom there you can select on personal preference a rope that will work for your climbing style.
Climbing hardware, such as ascenders, descenders, and hybrid devices, are built to accept a range of rope diameters. Some devices, (such as the Akimbo, Rig, I’d, etc.) function very differently when used with different rope diameters and constructions. Always check the manufacturer specifications on any devices you plan on using with your new climbing rope.
Once we know what type of climbing you're planning, we can look at ropes that have good marks for the most relevant factors. Rope Construction, specifications (diameter, strength, elongation), and more subjective factors like feel, hand, and color.
Other factors to consider are more a matter of personal taste, like color options. Additionally, some tree climbing ropes have special features like reduced water uptake or special core fibers to make inspection easier. Check out individual listings, and if you have any questions, reach out or stop on by.
WesSpur sells all of our rope by the foot. When measuring rope, our warehouse staff use calibrated rope counters to measure each length as it comes off the reel. This ensure our lengths are accurate to within industry standards. (Rope manufacturers accept rope measurements at + or - 5% to account for the rope stretch, tension when measuring, etc.)
The expert splicers at Iron Street Rope Splicing will hand-splice your climbing rope or use our industrial bartacking machine to make a bartacked (sewn) termination in your line. Bartacked eyes are strong and reliable, and are often available in lines that aren’t hand-spliceable. Iron Street has sent thousands of hand-splices and bartacked eyes into service. You can trust the expert splicers for the highest-quality work.
We end up with random lengths at the end of bulk reels. We put these up weekly on our clearance rope page. Sign up for email alerts to get first pick of new clearance ropes.
