A while back my Mrs and I bought our dog a toy made out of upcycled climbing rope, and he loved it. Unfortunately the toy is nearing the end of its life, and rather than shell out another $25 on a toy I would try to make one myself.
So... Anyone got any old/retired climbing rope they're looking to part with? Would be happy to throw you a couple of bucks or some beer in exchange! Thanks!

Don't have an old rope sorry, but the knot you'll want to tie once you do is called a monkeys fist knot.
I used old rope (the nylon type that's twisted together) and eye spliced it together at the other end to make a handle. Really awesome toy and goes super far when thrown.
are you offering money for old rope?
Ya I guess. Not a ton, but like 10 or 15 bucks?
Sorry, I don't have any. I was just glad to see an opportunity to use the old saying.

Maybe contact the rock climbing places, or the uni climbing club and ask them what they do with their retired rope?
