Choosing the right static climbing rope requires careful consideration of needs and intended use. Here are some important factors to keep in mind when choosing a static rope . Diameter - static ropes are made in different diameters, usually from 9mm to 11mm. Consider the required length and strength class, which is usually given in kilonewtons (kN). Make sure that the strength of the rope meets the requirements for the intended use. Consider the construction - resistance to abrasion, weight and, last but not least, its certification. Popular certifications include UIAA (International Federation for Mountaineering and Alpinism) and CE (European Conformity).
