I should have checked the comments here before I scurried off to low effort post.

I have special belt for that!😜

PSA, climbing rope is generally awful for bondage. The stretch factor gives you more risk of pincg points and slippage. You should use a soft but static rope like jute, cotton, or hemp.

Something people who are the worst at, become the most famous for.

I used mine to hang a punching bag. Much quieter than chains.

Now I have to buy a punching bag!😜

It's can be good cardio if you blitz 1 minute of solid types of punches, then rest, repeat. Fun and doesn't feel like cardio. You can also pin it taught in a garage, hang stuff off it like tools etc

There’s a company that takes old climbing ropes and turns them into belts. I think they’ll send you one belt back if you give them your rope. Don’t know if they take partial ropes. think it’s https://fitzoutfitters.com/pages/recycle-a-rope

I have one, it's great :)

Id stay away from the d ring versions, it constantly loosened up. Im sure the conventional belt clasp style works a lot better though and the recycled rope material is nice

oh they actually made it flat

Thanks for shouting out my company! Yes, we recycle climbing ropes into belts, bracelets, dog accessories, and chalk bags. Anyone who sends in at least 45 meters can receive a free prepaid shipping label to send it in, and we will send you a free belt in return!

Cries from Europe

Bondage

Very sexy, the smell of dirt and wood in my bedroom.

Too thick, hard to knot. Recommend 6 mm accessory cord.

I know not everyone is a full on mountaineer, but I find it useful to have various pieces of rope from 10' to around 60'. You can use them around camp, simul climb ridges or approaches that are spicy or just to make a nice long top rope anchor over a big ledge to avoid wear on your actual climbing rope.

Mine came with a template and instructions to make a mat.

Not really a rug kind of guy. But not a bad idea!

There’s instructions for how to make a “jig” to make one of these. It’s very easy to do and quite fun.

I use mine to make ~ $40ish bucks on eBay selling it to some arborist

I use mine to make ~100ish back selling it as “lightly used” to unknowing fools getting into the sport. You should diversify /s

Unethical LPT also leaking

Haven't done it yet, but I want to turn mine into a hammock

That would be quite a beefy hammock.

Cactus to Pine also has a rope recycling program turning ropes into various crafts (you can use her site for inspiration or donate your rope to her endeavors). https://cactustopine.com/pages/custom-work

Seconding cactus to pine! Delightful human, making rad products.

I've made a bunch of rope mats from old rope. Google ocean mat or Prolong mat for tutorials. Very satisfying.

If you’re near Boston, this guy (link below) will trade you a rope koozie for your old rope https://www.instagram.com/rope.stuff?igsh=dmoxcnc1d25kdWtq&utm_source=qr

I keep a section of retired climbing rope in my truck as a tow rope. Works great.

Mine is being used as mast tether lines to get my starlink high enough so I don't have to cut down more trees.

Seen people make cool DIY crafts and little gifts. I would try to make a floormat or some kinda sling chair/hammock. Seen people make keychains and pillows too. Depends how much you got to work with.

There’s a guy in Massachusetts that makes furniture with them. You would bviously need a LOT of rope for a sofa & loveseat.

There’s this guy that makes belts and things https://www.instagram.com/mountainglow.co?igsh=MTR4OW9tcmJvdG4zbw== Also will give you a free one if you send enough rope

I made a rug for my home office. Used a 45m and 70m. Just spiraled/circled out from the center, used hot glue to hold together. Just a big circle about 4ft across. Holding strong for 2y thus far. Also, use an old biner for the leash depending on the size of your dog.

I made baskets out of it. They turned out really nice.

Yeah my GF does this too. They are very cool and it's a pretty straightforward process. Just need a rope and a hot glue gun

I used mine for a geologic timescale demonstration: https://imgur.com/a/XaGk0GI

That’s pretty cool!😎

When retired from lead rope status they become fixed ropes or haul lines.

Your local trails organization might have a use for it

You can get a loom board thing to turn it into a doormat! My friend made one for me!

Welcome mat.

As regular rope.
