  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]

    The rock-climbing equipment needed varies materially depending on the type of rock climbing being undertaken. Starting from the least equipment-intensive type of climbing, the general equipment needs are as follows: [1] Free solo climbing, and its deep-water soloing variant, require the least equipment as no climbing protection or ropes are used.

    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]

  6. Climbing rope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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. Climbing ropes must meet very strict requirements so that they do not ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_climbing

    Ropes and slings. Modern climbing ropes are 50–80 metres (160–260 ft) in length can be dynamic ropes, which can stretch to absorb the energy of a falling climber (and can thus absorb higher fall factors), or are the less expensive but more hard-wearing static ropes for fixed ropeing. Double ropes are used to reduce rope drag. [72] [75]
