Common questions
Do you accept all types of rope?
No, we only accept dynamic climbing ropes. Static ropes or ropes that were made for purposes other than climbing are not accepted.
Is there a minimum length of rope required to receive a free belt?
Yes, you must send in at least 45m of dynamic climbing rope to receive a free belt.
How long will it take to receive my free belt?
We wash every rope before making a single thing out of it, and we only wash one or two batches of ropes per month, which makes it hard for us to predict exactly how long our turnaround time will be. On average, it takes about one month but can vary by a few weeks.
I represent a climbing gym or guide service. Can sending in ropes cause liability issues?
Fitz Outfitters LLC assumes all responsibility for ropes once they have been sent in. We assure that all ropes are used exclusively for non-load bearing purposes, but in the event that any injuries or damages are directly or indirectly caused by these ropes, your organization will not be held liable.
If your organization is particularly concerned, we can send you a document that adds your organization as an "additional insured" to our insurance policy. We are also willing to sign a contract stating that the ropes will only be used for non-load bearing purposes if your organization requires it.
Will you reimburse the cost of shipping if I ship you my old rope?
We only cover shipping if you fill out our form before shipping your rope. Shipping is covered via a prepaid shipping label, not a direct reimbursement.
Can I purchase additional items made out of my rope?
Yes, if you would like other items made out of your rope in addition to your free belt, please send us an email at contactus@fitzoutfitters.com or mention it in the additional comments section while requesting your shipping label.
