  2. Dynamic rope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_rope

    A dynamic rope is a specially constructed, somewhat elastic rope used primarily in rock climbing, ice climbing, and mountaineering. This elasticity, or stretch, is the property that makes the rope dynamic —in contrast to a static rope that has only slight elongation under load.

  3. Static rope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_rope

    A static climbing rope. A static rope is a low-elongation rope that is designed to stretch minimally when placed under load, typically less than 5%. In contrast, a dynamic rope is designed to stretch up to 40%. [1] Static ropes have a wide variety of uses, for instance in fire rescue operations [2] and caving. [3]

  4. Fall factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_factor

    In lead climbing using a dynamic rope, the fall factor (f) is the ratio of the height (h) a climber falls before the climber's rope begins to stretch and the rope length (L) available to absorb the energy of the fall, =. It is the main factor determining the violence of the forces acting on the climber and the gear.

  5. Kernmantle rope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernmantle_rope

    Static ropes are designed to allow relatively little stretch, which is most useful for applications such as hauling and rappelling. Dynamic rope is used to belay climbers, and is designed to stretch under a heavy load to absorb the shock of a fallen climber. Dynamic ropes manufactured for climbing are tested by the UIAA. A test of "single ...

    dynamic rope An elastic climbing rope that softens falls to some extent and absorbs the energy of heavy loads. Compare static rope. [29] dyno In rock climbing, a dynamic jump or leap to grab an out-of-reach hold; failure to grab the hold will usually result in a fall. See also paddling and campusing. [1] [2] [43]

  7. Climbing rope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climbing_rope

    A climber and a belayer using a climbing rope. A climbing rope is a rope that is used in climbing.It is a critical part of an extensive chain of protective equipment (which also includes climbing harnesses, anchors, belay devices, and carabiners) used by climbers to help prevent potentially fatal fall-related accidents.
