You will need strong dependable rope for mountain climbing, so make sure you have the proper kind and enough of it. The type of rope you need depends on the form of climbing you will be doing and your individual style. Ropes that are treated with water-resistant coatings are known as dry ropes and they won't saturate as quickly as non-dry ropes; allowing it to stay stronger and lighter. However, dry ropes do not stop complete water absorption and the water resistant properties wear off over time with normal use. When ropes absorb water they get heavier and are less able to absorb the forces generated in a fall. Absorbed water can easily freeze when it's cold out, making rope stiff and unmanageable. When buying rope, take into consideration the thickness, length and flexibility.
