    What’s in the picture isn’t climbing rope… Climbing rope is rated for decent sized falls though, so it has a much higher weight rating than just the mass of the human climbing it (e.g. commonly 2.2+ tonnes)

      The person I replied to said that the rope needs 3x or 4x the diameter to be used with climbing. Climbing rope doesn’t need to be that thick.

      It’s not the diameter that determines the suitability for climbing.

          I mean, is it ergonomical to climb a small diameter rope? Probably not, but you can still climb it. I’d also argue you’re less likely to get a “why are you purchasing a rope for burglary” from the shop keep. Like whoever is wholesaling these adventure kits must be making the ropes too.
