Manropes are spaced about how far apart?

Spacing manropes about three feet apart ensures each grip is within easy reach, so you can grab the next hold before you lose your grip. This keeps your progress smooth and continuous, reduces fatigue, and lowers the risk of slipping when the rope is wet. If holds were much closer, it would be unnecessary crowding; if they were much farther apart, there would be a gap you can’t reach, making it harder to advance safely.
