I’m a climber and wanted to get a leash made of climbing rope that is durable, long-lasting, and safe for my pup. This leash is just that and more! I’ve been using it for a while now and it’s perfect for normal walks and hiking. I love the self-locking carabiner too. With this leash, I don’t have any worries of my puppy potentially running off into danger if something on her leash were to break.
