  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]

    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]

  5. Kernmantle rope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernmantle_rope

    Internal structure of a 10.7 mm dynamic kernmantle climbing rope. One of the uses of kernmantle rope is as climbing rope. Nylon ropes that were used in yachts for hauling were tested and found useful in climbing and caving and are now the modern standard. The German company Edelrid introduced the first kernmantel rope in 1953, which ...

  6. Climbing rope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climbing_rope

    Dynamic ropes are used in sport climbing. They are sufficiently stretchable to safely absorb a fall. However, they are relatively weak in static loads and therefore should not be used for zip lines and amusement rides. A falling climber quickly develops enormous kinetic energy. This energy is released as soon as the climber stops falling.

  7. Rock-climbing equipment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock-climbing_equipment

    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.

  8. Rock climbing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_climbing

    Rock climbing is a largely self-governing sport principally relying on social sanctioning but where individual country-level associations can act as "representative bodies" for the sport some of which are formally recognized by the State (e.g. the American Alpine Club) and can have an influence on Government policy in areas that interest the ...

  9. Fixed rope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_rope

    In climbing and mountaineering, a fixed-rope (or fixed-line) is the practice of installing networks of in-situ anchored static climbing ropes on climbing routes to assist any following climbers (and porters) to ascend more rapidly—and with less effort—by using mechanical aid devices called ascenders.
