    Those types people climb are much larger in diameter. The thinner the rope the more difficult to hold onto it.

      This is going to surprise you, but the ropes adventurers would use and gym ropes aren’t the same thing either other than their ability to rip the skin off your hands.

      Is this the exact kind they would use?

      No, but it’s close enough to point out the weights listed for gear are basically arbitrary.
