A 60-ft long rope of climbing is no thicker than a slender wand, weighs no more than 3 pounds, but is strong enough to support 3,000 pounds. 

Upon command the rope will snake forward, upward, downward, or any other direction at 10-ft per round and attach itself securely wherever desired. It will return or unfasten itself likewise. 

In any event, one end of the rope must be held by a character when it performs such actions. 

It can also be commanded to knot itself, and this will cause large knots to appear at 1-ft intervals along the rope; knotting shortens the rope to 50-ft length while so knotted.

Note: Any magical rope which is broken or severed will immediately lose its special properties.
