rope ladders
Flexible hanging climbers
Rope ladders are ladders made of rope, with rungs of rope, wood, or metal.
They can be rolled up for storage or transport, making them useful where rigid ladders are impractical—escaping from windows, boarding ships, or climbing to treehouses.
They're harder to climb than fixed ladders because they swing and flex under the climber's weight.
