Discover a great selection of ropes for climbing and mountaineering from industry-leading brands.

In the field of outdoor sports, climbing and mountaineering are the two main activities that require ropes for safety, but some walkers and scramblers choose to use specific walking confidence ropes for particularly steep and rocky sections.

Climbing ropes come in a wide range of thicknesses and lengths, which all have different purposes.

Single ropes are used for sports climbing, top-roping, and trad climbing where pitches follow a relatively straight line and gear placements will not cause unnecessary rope drag. Thicker diameter (10 10.5mm) ropes are typically longer lasting and reassuringly grippy in belay plates, making them ideal for top-roping or working routes. The new breed of skinny single ropes (8.9 10mm) are very slick and lightweight.

Half (double) ropes (7.5mm - 9mm) should be used in pairs and are essential for long, traditionally protected routes where they can be clipped independently to avoid rope drag. Two ropes offer maximum safety and the advantage of being able to fix long abseils.

When it comes to climbing rope length, you again have to consider what type of climbing you do and where. 30 and 40-metre length climbing ropes are great for indoor climbing and the shortest outdoor climbs, saving weight and rope faff. 50m will suffice for most trad climbs and many sport crags. 60m is ideal for covering most UK sports routes, giving you the extra length to allow lowering off on a 25m pitch. It's also good for winter or ice climbing, giving the longest possible pitch length and abseil potential. 70m is a good idea for those big Euro sports routes.

A dry treatment is essential for winter climbing and alpinism as it prevents the rope from absorbing water, freezing and thus becoming unmanageable.
