Climbing Ropes
What is a good exercise(s) for rope climbing?
I have no rope, what exercises will increase my rope climbing strength, so it's easier for me.
Two things. One, you need to exercise your arm and shoulder muscles, ideally by practising using your arms to lift your weight. Do you have access to anything you can hang from, pull yourself up from? You might want to check your local playground, a horizontal bar, or a climbing rack would be ideal to practise hanging from your arms, first both arms, then one at a time, and pulling yourself up. If you really have no other way, push-ups will also make your arms and shoulders stronger. Whenever you do exercises, stop as soon as you tire. Start by exercises that are easy for you, build it up gradually. Over-doing it will only cause injury to your arms, it will not make you stronger.
The second aspect you may need to develop is technique. Rope climbing involves clever use of your feet. You squeeze the rope between your shoes to create resistance, in order to reduce the amount of arm-strength you need. Look very carefully at other rope-climbers and ask your PE teacher to check whether you are doing it right. Good luck!

Climbing Ropes — How it's Made
How to set up rope climbing?
I have a large storage building, and the ceiling beams are extremely sturdy, sitting at about 50 feet in the air. well. I love rope climbing, but know very little about the technicalities of it. What would i need to set up a SAFE rope climbing situation here??
Suggestions on where to begin??
Do you just want to climb the rope? If so, you would need the initial rope (for climbing) and a secondary rope (for safety). The first rope would need to be appropriately anchored to the beam, and the second rope would need to be threaded through a pulley or carabiner which is anchored to the beam. You would need to wear a climbing harness and tie the safety rope to it. The other end of the safety rope would be belayed by a second person with a harness, locking carabiner, and belay device. You should get a dynamic climbing rope for this (40 meters should be enough, but you will probably have to buy a 60m rope). You should learn how to safely anchor to the beam as well as safely belay. This is the only safe way I can think of, as a fall from 50 feet would need a very good cushion to safely land, so belayed climbing seems like the only reasonable way.
