How it's Made: Climbing Ropes

The Discovery Channel used to have a wonderfully engaging television show entitled, How it's Made. Some time ago, they ran an episode on how ropes are made with a focus on climbing ropes and yachting ropes.

Check out the video below:



Sterling Ropes also produced a video on how climbing ropes are made. Though the production values of this video are a little bit lower than that of the Discovery Channel show, there is a great deal more specific information about climbing rope construction. There are also a few goofy jokes that make this video fun to watch.

See the Sterling video below:
