dynamic rope

Dynamic ropes are rated for a certain number of falls (usually 5-10) at a given impact force.

A dynamic rope should be used for the climbers.

Kernmantle construction may be used with both static and dynamic ropes.

All modern rock climbing dynamic ropes are rated for the number of hard falls they can absorb safely before being retired.

A dynamic rope is a specially constructed, stretchable rope.

In 1964, Edelrid developed the dynamic rope, the first rope capable of withstanding multiple falls.

Dynamic ropes manufactured for climbing are tested by the UIAA.

A static rope is a rope that does not stretch when placed under load, in contrast to a dynamic rope.

Dynamic ropes are designed to absorb the energy of a falling climber, and are usually used as Belaying ropes.

They are made from a length of dynamic rope with two lanyards of differing length ending in carabiners.

Dynamic rope is rated by the UIAA to handle a specific number of whippers before being retired.

By stretching under load, a dynamic rope will soften the impact of extreme stresses on it, such as falls, and lessens the likelihood of failure.

Dynamic rope is used to belay climbers, and is designed to stretch under a heavy load to absorb the shock of a fallen climber.

Abseiling, however, is best done with a static rope or, alternately, with a dynamic rope with low elasticity.

Dynamic rope is very well-suited to handle whippers, which can often be dramatically long and put a great deal of strain on a rope and equipment.

Dynamic rope, more commonly used in climbing, is used in caving for belaying cavers on climbs or using ladders.

Ropes used for climbing can be divided into two classes: dynamic ropes and low elongation ropes (sometimes called "static" ropes).

Kernmantle ropes (with a jacketed core) are the most common type of dynamic rope, and nylon has replaced all natural materials since 1945 for durability and strength.

A dynamic rope, which has some stretch in it, is used so that the climber is not brought to a sudden jarring stop that could cause severe injury.

They have some applications in climbing, though lead climbing, for instance, is always done with a dynamic rope, since a fall on a static rope is stopped too quickly and may lead to serious injury.

Even though the ascending and descending sides of the pass have fixed dynamic ropes, Crossing this pass requires good judgement, commitment, top fitness, prior acclimatisation and basic mountaineering skills of all members.

Some climbers may find it desirable to receive a 'soft catch' during a hard fall and opt to use a stretchier, more dynamic rope, despite the possibility that such a rope will have a lower overall rating.
