Size Guide

Three criteria to define when configuring your rope: length, diameter, and attachment finish.

Step 1 — Choose the length

The rope attaches abovethe climbing point. Measure the height of your attachment point, then subtract approximately 30 cmto get the appropriate rope length.

Rope length	Hanging height
2.00 m	2.30 m and above
2.20 m	2.50 m and above
2.70 m	3.00 m and above
3.00 m	3.30 m and above
3.20 m	3.50 m and above
3.70 m	4.00 m and above
4.00 m	4.30 m and above
5.00 m	5.30 m and above
6.00 m	6.30 m and above
7.00 m	7.30 m and above
8.00 m	8.30 m and above
9.00 m	9.30 m and above
10.00 m	10.30 m and above
11.00 m	11.30 m and above
12.00 m	12.30 m and above

The stated length corresponds to the finished rope, including thimble and weighting knot. The bottom of the rope should remain approximately 30 to 40 cm from the ground. Natural hemp shrinks slightly upon initial tensioning: allow for this margin.

Step 2 — Choose the diameter

On a smooth rope, the diameter directly changes the difficulty of the exercise. A moderate diameter closes in the hand and facilitates climbing; a large diameter forces an open-hand grip and becomes a true test of grip strength. For the same diameter, natural hemp is significantly heavier than synthetic.

Diameter	Audience and use	Difficulty
28 mm — best seller	Gyms, clubs, cross-training, climbing initiation	Full hand grip, accessible climb
36 mm	Gymnasiums, barracks, obstacle courses, intensive collective use	More demanding grip, forearm workout
40 mm	Advanced physical preparation, grip strength, grip training	Maximum difficulty, reserved for experienced practitioners

For a facility catering to all levels, 28 mm remains the best compromise. 36 mm is the standard for institutional installations.

Step 3 — Choose the finish

The top finish determines the attachment method, the bottom finish determines the appearance and weighting of the free end.

Finish	Description	Recommended for
Stainless steel thimble	Splice on thimble, protects the rope from the anchor point	Standard, included by default
Ring + stainless steel thimble	Stainless steel ring, direct attachment to hook or plate	Fixed installation in a gym
Simple spliced loop	Handmade loop, without metal	Passing around a beam or bar
Stainless steel bow shackle	Quick disassembly, adjustable height	Rope regularly unhooked or stored off-season
Large rope knot at the bottom	Weights the end and extends its longevity	Standard, included by default
Whipped bottom end	Flat finish, no weighting	Ropes descending very close to the ground

Unsure about your setup?

Our ropes are custom-made: contact us with the height of your attachment point, the type of structure, and the level of the users, and we will recommend the appropriate item.

Care advice

Natural hemp requires minimal care. Brush the rope dry to remove dust and chalk: avoid water, which prolongs drying time and promotes mold. Never use solvents or high-pressure cleaners. If the rope has become damp, let it dry hanging in the open air, in the shade, before any use. Take it down and store it in a dry place during long periods of disuse.

A slight fuzz will come off in the first few weeks: this is normal for a plant fiber and will fade with use.

Product details

Rope climbing exercise

Smooth rope climbing is an intense physical exercise, made popular by firefighters, police officers, and the military. It engages the entire upper body — hands, forearms, back, shoulder girdle — but also the legs, which grip and lock the rope to progress. Without knots to rest on, the difficulty increases considerably compared to a knotted rope: climbing requires real physical fitness, especially in terms of speed.

It is the benchmark equipment in fitness rooms, obstacle courses, cross-training boxes, gymnasiums, and fire stations.

The grip of the original fiber

On a smooth rope, the grip makes all the difference: it allows you to hold the position with arms extended and lock the legs without slipping. Natural hemp offers a grip that no synthetic fiber can provide. Its slightly rough surface bites into the palm and sole, even during a long hold, and gradually softens with use without ever becoming smooth.

Natural hemp or synthetic hemp?

Natural hemp offers the true look, smell, and feel, as well as a better grip: it's the choice for gyms that want the original rope. On the other hand, it is a living fiber that absorbs moisture, dries slowly, and eventually mildews with permanent exposure. Reserve it for indoor use or under shelter. For a durable outdoor installation, opt for our smooth rope made of synthetic hemp, which is rot-proof and UV-treated.

Handcrafted French manufacturing

Each rope is handcrafted in our workshops. The upper end is fitted with a stainless steel thimble, very resistant and rust-proof, which facilitates attachment and protects the rope from the anchor point. The lower end finishes with a large rope knot that weights the end and prolongs its longevity. The splices are made manually, without adding any plastic parts.

Safety

Smooth ropes present a greater risk of falling than knotted ropes: descent is via controlled sliding, and fatigue quickly sets in. Clear the climbing area and install a shock-absorbing landing surface under the rope, such as a large gymnastics mat. For less experienced users, provide a harness and a rappelling rope. Natural hemp requires more frequent checks than synthetic fibers: regularly inspect the condition of the strands, the thimble, and the anchor point, especially after exposure to humidity. Rope supplied with its usage precautions.

Fabrication artisanale française

Chaque corde est confectionnée à la main dans nos ateliers.

L'extrémité haute est équipée d'une cosse-cœur en acier inoxydable, très résistante et sans risque de rouille, qui facilite la fixation et protège la corde du point d'ancrage.
L'extrémité basse se termine par un gros nœud de cordage qui leste le bout et prolonge sa longévité.
Les épissures sont réalisées manuellement, sans ajout de pièce plastique.

Sécurité

La corde lisse expose davantage à la chute qu'une corde à nœuds : la descente se fait en glissé contrôlé et la fatigue arrive vite.

Dégagez la zone de grimpe et installez une réception amortissante sous la corde, de type gros tapis de gymnastique. Pour les pratiquants les moins aguerris, prévoyez un baudrier et une corde de rappel.

Le chanvre naturel se contrôle plus souvent qu'une fibre synthétique : vérifiez régulièrement l'état des torons, de la cosse-cœur et du point d'ancrage, en particulier après une exposition à l'humidité.
