Years ago, I used to own a "fat rope" made for training for climbing. It was just like those ropes used for rope climbs in PE class, but made out of cotton, so it was much easier on the hands. If I recall correctly, it was even made by one of the climbing gear companies. Any ideas on where to get one these days?

Probably not quite what your looking for, but my son was on a cloth rope that they called spanish web in an aerial arts class. Looks like this trapezearts.com/store/store…

Not sure if you got a fat rope yet. If not, you might want to try a commercial fishing store like Redden Net or Seattle Ship Supply (or some other shop if those are not around anymore).

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
