So I can use this for mountain and wall climbing?

Personally, I'd only use paracord for climbing or descending IF I had no other choice of a better rope. While our cord is excellent and considered a great "emergency supply" it is not intended to be a climbing rope... even though many have used paracord for such in emergencies. There are thousands of uses for paracord but one should be prudent and cautious if their life is on the line. Bill... TOUGH-GRID

No paracord should be used as primary secondary or belay. paracord is meant to be for survival and last ditch tool or stripped and used as fishing twine even tourniquets or even other items like snares or securing gear, for climbing you need a good type high quality braided rope or dry or standard rope

Mountain and wall climbing ropes are made for these activities. It's more than tensile strength, it has a lot to do with the stretch of the rope so it's not as hard of landing. There is also another rating which I forget the name but it's the force of a falling weight. This stuff is great and is the right kine of paracord for all sorts of things but I wouldn't put my life or safety on the line without better info. But to answer your question this stuff is strong, strong, strong.

There is a difference between the tensile strength of a rope and its safe working load. Tensile strength is the force required to break it. Generally, you want to maintain a 10:1 safety margin (some suggest a 15:1) for a safe working load. For instance, this cord breaks (tensile strength) at 750lbs, so the working load would be 75lbs. Also, remember that anytime you tie a knot in the cord, you weaken the cord/rope by a certain percentage. Some knots can reduce the load by as much as 50%. That means this cord has an approximate safe working load of 75lbs. So, NO, it isn't suitable for climbing. Will it work? Possibly, but I wouldn't want to find out....

This cord is strong but not of the strength required to hold the body weight of a fully grown person. It's thinner than a climbing rope and I would not trust it for that purpose. If you are not sure, don't buy it. Get more experience and KNOW what you need .

No, NEVER! (well, in an emergency, but only if a life is on the line and there is no there means available). The STATIC load is rated for 750 lbs. Mountaineering rope is rated for DYNAMIC loading... i.e. the stress it takes when it arrests a fall, usually in the several thousands of lbs. Even then, mountaineering rope needs to be changed out after so many such arrests.

NEVER use this rope for actual climbing. Only for utility use. For mountain and wall climbing ropes, use ropes designed for that particular purpose. Yes they are more expensive, but your life is on the line. For more information about climbing ropes, contact a well respected outdoor store. Better yet try finding a local climbing club or indoor wall climbing place. Please be careful in your future climbing ventures.

No. Definitely not. Climbing rope is rated to around 5000lbs and features a thick outer mantel to protect the very stretchy inner cores. Climbing on this stuff would be signing your own death certificate. Climbing falls or accidently shock loading a cord by a fall even as short as a few inches creates an enormous amount of force which this cord is not at all intended for. Shorter lengths of climbing rope are available on Amazon and you need proper training and lots of experience before venturing out and using it, but beware, many have fallen for the siren call of rock climbing.

If you are asking this..... please, PLEASE, don't attempt big wall and mountain climbing on your own.... ur gonna die.... find some experienced climbing buddies, join a club, read a book on it at least....

of course... you don't need the frame to use this. the frame helps for stability when climbing and fatigue etc etc.

Sure you can use it for that if it is secured properly. Not sure why you would want to do that though. Remember the higher you go, the less weight the jack will hold.

I'm not a mountain climber, but I've fiddled around with it a bit and the hammer is definitely NOT an instrument designed to aid and assist in rock climbing per se. Rock climbing gear is very different stuff and I doubt this item would be well suited to that job. However, I will say that I weight 174 pounds and when climbing a tree I jammed the hammer head/spike crossways in the notch of a branch above my head and it held my entire body weight with no problem. It is likely that it would hold someone that was 220 pounds as well if they were doing what I was doing.

I'm using it in Boulder, CO, which is at an elevation a bit above "The Mile High City," so you should be fine. We haven't had any problems with it.

I use it for mountain biking and road cycling. It vibrates some on rough terrain, but I haven't lost my phone yet.

If you didn't attach the stand then I supposse you could. It doesn't have attachments for that though, because it is meant to be standing. There are some cheaper ones on here specifically for wall mounting! Good luck!

No. Real climbing gear is certified by UIAA or CE. I'm a rock climber and no climbers ever use hooks like these for climbing. They simply don't exist in the climbing world (no reputable companies make or sell them). I'm sure you could come up with something to do with this, maybe climbing a fence or something where a fall wouldn't be very serious, but that certainly wouldn't be 'safe'.

Hi... i have used it for doing rafting and it is ok if it fix you properly... so that, yes, you can use it without any trouble.

It's probably better suited for long distance riding than mountain, but if your going that far daily you might want to look for more of a road bike. I hope that helps.

Yes. I take it backpacking sometimes. Not sure but I'm a tall, big guy and works fine so far.

Yes, I think you could. It is not especially bulky and I would think it is plenty rugged, since it can be used for hiking in the mountains, etc. And it is not nearly as "ugly" looking as some regular watches I have seen in catalogs. Hope this helps and that I am not steering you wrong!

Yes. There are a lot of Mountain Climber exercises. You have better stability with the contoured bell. It works better for Halos as well. I use the 10 pound bell. I tried a different video program with a heavier bell and injured my shoulder so I have returned to this program with the lighter bell as I did not get injured with this DVD set.

I've use it to mount it on a walking staff so that I can glance at the GPS while hiking. Use your imagination, the possibilities are endless.

I guess so. I found it useful as a hiking pole on my treks. It is very light and strong.

Hey, M R:It's Darren Wright from Paracord 550 MilSpec (TM). Thanks for your question!Paracord is very strong and durable, especially for the small diameter of the cord. However, it's not at all made for mountain climbing. The lines used for mountain climbing are much heavier and sturdier than Paracord. Hope this helps!Darren

It's used for play sports. I use specifically for mountain races to avoid sprains.
