If your outdoor adventure involves rock climbing then you will definitely need a climbing rope. They are an important safety feature for rock climbing because when you string climbing rope through carabineers, the climbing rope can break your fall if you slip. Also if your outdoor adventure involves boating or using a lasso, you can also use climbing rope. If you just hiking on a familiar trail on your outdoor adventure, you do not climbing rope.

Mountaineering or mountain climbing
Dynamic climbing rope stretches when it is loaded, so for a climber this means that when he falls, the rope will stretch a little as weight is applied, making a fall softer and safer. A static climbing rope does not stretch and has its advantages in situations where you need a rope that does not stretch or give, such as rappelling or caving use. A static rope should not be used by climbers who are lead climbing because taking a fall on a static rope can lead to serious injury to the climber or even cause the rope to snap as it does not properly absorb the force it needs to cushion a fall.

Climbing a rope without friction would be extremely difficult as there would be nothing to grip onto to support your weight. You would likely struggle to make any progress and may not be able to ascend the rope at all. It would require a different set of skills and techniques than traditional rope climbing.
