Kids do it literally every day in gym class, and sometimes on the way back down they do learn some valuable lessons about abrasion and doing things you’ve seen on TV.
I do think there’s an unspoken assumption for adventurers that they wear gloves for this and many more reasons.
This is going to surprise you, but the ropes adventurers would use and gym ropes aren’t the same thing either other than their ability to rip the skin off your hands.
Is this the exact kind they would use?
No, but it’s close enough to point out the weights listed for gear are basically arbitrary.
Those rope is unlikely to be able to support a fully kitted adventurer though. Ropes rated for the kinds of weights adventurers often deal with will be at least in the neighborhood of the listed weight, accordang to a similar thread a while back. IIRC one comparable rope weighed something like 4.4 pounds at 50 feet.

Those types people climb are much larger in diameter. The thinner the rope the more difficult to hold onto it.

Are the adventurers in the room with us now? Can they tell us what rope they use on their adventures?
That you think this is a clever response says a lot.
Who thinks that? Are these the same voices or is this another
