Make a good noose, and slip it around your neck. That way if you fall, you will not worry about it long.

In camping, a 'guy rope' is used to peg down the tent so I suppose a guy line would be the same.\n\nguy1 (gī) \nn.\nA rope, cord, or cable used to steady, guide, or secure something.

First you need to figure out how big you want it...a good size is above 15ft squ. The four corners need to be secured and the ropes tied in very tight. If you have a trampoline, just get webbing for the sides...works as well.

In order to lasso you need a stiff rope. you can buy one at you local feed store. sorry but I don't know how to do it but maybe you can ask at the feed store.

Jump rope.  That really helped my vertical jump when I did track N field.  I jumped rope every day.  Watch Nate Robinson in the NBA dunk contest.  he's your height.

The one that I always use is the 'Clinch knot' - I've never had it come undone. It may look time consuming at first, but the wrap arounds are done easily enough by gripping one end, and rolling your fingers on your swivel. \n\nTry these illustrations:\n\nhttp://www.killroys.com/knots/clinch.htm\nhttp://www.go4bass.com/clinch.html

I'm not sure if "Gamagatzu" has a web addy, however, "Bass Pro Shop" and "Cabelas" both carry there line of hooks. You could also try your local baitshop ,they may have a "G"-catalog.

First, look at the metal frames holding it up.  They look like metal pipes running vertically from the ground and horizontally along the fence.  There should be a horizontal one at the top of the fence, and sometimes (especially for a fence that high) there is one running through the middle.  Find a section of fence with the most horizontal support frames as they hold the fence in one position, making it easier to climb, and if you are on the side where the beams are, then you can use them as footholds.  \n\nI'm assuming there is no barbed or razor wire on top. Once you found your spot to climb, reach up and take a handhold, then another (do not jump and grab unless you are an accomplished urban climber), then raise a leg to about waist height, and depending on the size of the holes in the fence, either put the toes in through the one of the holes (large holes) or the bottom of the foot braced against the fence in the most stable area of fence you can reach (small holes).  One foot should still be on the ground.  Now, pull up, using your lower body strength as much as possilbe, and grab one handhold higher up and raise the other leg into a foothold.  \n\nNow that all four limbs are on the fence, make sure they are not all tightly together.  This rapidly fatigues the muscles.  In fact, you should spread out as wide as possible while climbing the fence as this offers stability and effeciency.  Whenever you reach for a hold with one limb, the other three should be stable and securely grasping the fence.  Grabbing two holds at a time is not only ineffecient but potentially dangerous.  You could fall, and we don't want that.  \n\nOnce you've reached the top of the fence, your hands should gasp the top horizontal support pipe, no matter which side you're on.  If there is no such beam, you're in a for wild ride as your shifting weight will make the fence sway to and fro dramitically.  Holding tighly with your hands, release one foothold and pull your torso above the top of the fence.  Swing your dominant leg over to the other side, turning your entire body.  This is your most unstable moment, so be extra cautious here.  Release your other foothold and swing it over the fence as well to join your dominant leg as it now looks for a foothold.\n\nYou are now at the top of the other side of the fence.  You can either jump down or climb down.  I would reccomend climbing down using the same principles used to climb up unless you are in a hurry.  \n\nDepending on your skill at urban climbing and upper body strength, you will be able to do this a lot quicker than it took to read.  It's cool to see someone interested in urban climbing.  Have fun!

It's called a crappy one. \nI wouldn't trust the velcro if it comes to needing what the leash is actually intended for. A good leash is one you dont really see.\nFor Der man- like the other response, one that is visible is more likely to get hung up on something.

Try Kinko's; they do binding.

Do two things. Read up about climbing and talk some climbers.\ni found the book Freedom of the Hills to be good.  I still use it sometimes to learn new knots among other things\nSince you are starting you are probably not ready for something heinous.  Talk to someone at your local gear store, for example, about a non technical mountain near you to start out.  Of course they might try to sell you something but you probably need a little gear anyway since you are starting out.

Does it have grommets or can they be added?  You can attach weights to ropes through grommets and let them hang over the outside.

I know a lot of knots, I've used them in all sorts of things from fishing, boating, climbing, rapelling, etc.  The blood knot is a good joining knot, but I use a figure 8 follow through.  It isn't that hard to tie, and it's really really strong.  (I trust my body to it when I climb, so it should be ok for 2 pieces of braided line).

Hang from a suspended bar and dangle your feet

Frankly, I'm not sure anymore.  It's beginning to feel like no one will catch me if I fall.  So, I'd best tread carefully along that rope.
