8 mm rope is too small to climb
My workout of the day was supposed to be rope climbs, but I didn't have a rope. I also don't have a 15 foot tall ceiling to attach a climbing rope to. But, I figured I could tie a rope to my kettlebells and toss one end over a pullup bar. That'd do the trick, right?
Sure. If you get the right rope. The right rope is 5/8" or 3/4" or 1" or 1 1/2". I went to REI this evening and bought an 8 mm rope. It's really hard to get a good rip on a rope. I learned a few things from this experiment.
1. It's very difficult to pull even a smallish 35 pound kettlebell off the floor with an 8 mm rope.
2. It's very easy to friction burn skin off your fingers, even wearing a nice pair of weight lifting gloves.
3. Burning skin off your fingers makes porn useless.
4. I suck at certain knots, but I'll practice them. You will not excape if I tie you up.
5. If you have a kettlebell suspended from the ceiling of the garage with a rope and the weak ass knot you tied fails, watch out for the swing. 35 pounds of cast iron swinging at your man berries will give you quite an adrenaline rush.
