Suppose I pull on a rope. where is the 3rd law reaction force ?

Is it the tension in the string which pulls me up or there exists some other force which is the reaction of my action ?

If the rope is attached to something solid at the upper end, then the rope reacts to your pull and the point of attachment reacts to the pull of the rope.
