rope ladder

Treehouse access device

A rope ladder is a ladder with rungs connected by rope rather than rigid rails, allowing it to be rolled up for storage or lowered from heights.

Rope ladders hang from ships, helicopters, tree houses, and fire escapes: She climbed the rope ladder to the attic.

They appear in adventure scenarios—scaling castle walls or escaping through windows.
