Everybody could use a good rope in their life: The Panthera Climbing Rope

July 18, 2019 by The Loadout Room Leave a Comment

For a climber, a good quality climbing rope can mean the difference between life and death. For the rest of us, climbing rope may not fall as high on our list of gear priorities… but as this Panthera climbing rope has demonstrated over the past few months, you’d be surprised how often a rope you can trust with your life comes in handy.

I’m a pretty big guy (at 6’ and around 240 pounds) so it’s safe to say I’m not often spotted scrambling up sheer rock faces — though my experiences with this rope leave me with no question that it would revel in that sort of duty. Instead, this Panthera Climbing Rope has been subjected to tortures no ordinary climber would ever demand of their gear: hauling logs behind vehicles, keeping me safely secured to my roof while I was working, and even serving as the basis of a makeshift swing I threw together for my wife and daughter while we were camping.

In every instance, the rope was subjected to coarse materials and terrain that would have caused lesser products to fray. For those who may not be accustomed to climbing ropes, one of the earliest lessons you’ll learn is that a frayed rope is useless to you: once it’s been compromised, it’s no longer safe as a weight bearing tool.

I still trusted this rope to secure me while I cleaned out the gutters on my house after using the same rope to drag logs out of the yard.

At 32 feet long, this rope is long enough to support most climbing, repelling, and safely-hanging duties you can throw at it, and thanks to the included carabiners and 2,000 pound load rating, this rope has everything a climber needs to hook up and swing (and a normal guy needs to go looking for trouble).

If you’re the kind of guy that like making an entrance (say, from a borrowed Little Bird or through a skylight), the Panthera Climbing Rope won’t disappoint — but even if you’re not an aspiring Batman, there’s always a place for a good quality rope in your kit.
