Rope Ladder
Hey there, not a professional tree Wacker. I just figured if anyone knows about rope it's you guys.
I want to make a rope ladder for a tree. I know I could build a wood ladder but I have to be able to remove it frequently (public land) so rope it is.
It will be about 20ft and I plan to secure myself with a safety harness moving it up as I go up.
I have looked at many different ropes on tree stuff. I cannot figure out which type would be best. I was thinking some type of static rope because I don't need stretch and I want it to bend. Seems like the 12 strand I was looking at wouldn't be bendy enough. was also worried about rubbing and fraying.
It's this or tree sticks (a hunting tree ascender). I picked this with good rope over tree sticks because they are sketchy.
Any advice on rope?
