Could you use anything else for slacklining, other than your climbing rope? I ask this, cos I don't want to wreck mine, but like the sound of it. Of course I would do it a bit higher than a few feet off the ground.........

well, yea if you used the rope you use for climbing it COULD/WOULD mess it up bad style to the maximile! but if its just an old rope that you dont use any longer i dont see why not, i just use webbing i bought for my line pretty cheap and not as harsh on your bare feet. As for you setting it up high...hope you know what you doing. i dont know if your gonna set it up 5 feet or 15 feet but i wont go in that topic dont know much bout it, mines only 4 feet off the ground

A majority of all the slacklines i've seen and heard people talk about are 1" tubular webbing. Usually costs between 20 and 30 cents a foot. Easy on the feet and if you are first starting probably a bit easier than using a climbing rope due to more foot to webbing surface contact.
