Just bumped into an interesting documentary on channel 9 called Limitless. Episode 4 broadcast a few days ago and can catch up first 3 on internet TV.
The actor, Chris Hemsworth, actor was initially having difficulty climbing up a rope , his coach was a chap called Ross Edgley.
Quick search on google and on this forum shows Ross Edgley mentioned in various discussions on the forum -and over the internet, some astounding achievements - ie climb 27,000 feet up a rope in 24 hours. Pull a mini minor around a marathon course............. And written several books
One of the items mentioned in the doco was an "endless" rope - basically you can climb a rope configured as a never ending loop over a pulley but only stay 1 foot above the ground. Would be fun to "climb" a rope and always be safely knee height off the ground. I imagine a bought one would be thousands of dollars, will do some googling.
