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....

Possibly, But The Gravity Boots Will Mess Up The Hand Grips. The Grip Is 12" From The Wall. I Have Mine Mounted Above An Archway But If Your Form Is Good Then Your Feet Shouldn't Touch.

I suppose you could......I just tried, and I did. At my height of 5'0", that is a pushup at about45degrees from vertical or horizontal......a better push than a wall version with your feet outfrom the wall about 24-30". Hope that helps!

Yes you can but it's limited. Can't go too high on the elevation but that shudnt matter if you have a scope

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

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'.

It can be. Just a nicer piece of hardware that allows easy mount/dismount. If you are determined to save the $$$, go for it!

You definitely can, the grip bar is pretty strong. Not sure what the max is, but you can easily go higher then 100.

Yes definitely, it moves over rugged terrain and hills with little effort. It's great for hiking and trails.

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

I wouldn't recommend it. The GoPro is light enough to use while walking and maybe doing other sports, but when you try to run with it, the head mount elastics flex too much, and you may end up with bad quality footage. This is why in GoPro videos you see the people that do extreme sports or are moving fast wear it on their helmets. You can try that for a run or two to get the footage you need, but then that helmet might get too cumbersome. The other option is to tighten the straps on the mount, but that may give you a headache :) I hope this helps.

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

I think it could but it's way over built for that. Also, with so many adjustment points, etc., I'd go for something else with more basic X - Y - Z adjustment options. I'm a pretty handy guy myself and I'd never use this device, at this price point for such a basic use age. Just my 2 cents.Hey Bryan, I buy a lot of stuff from these guys as well. See if they might have something that might work:http://www.seismicaudiospeakers.com/search?query=wall+mount

This strap while great to walk around all day with without getting tired would not be good for climbing up on rocks. It works well in a standing or setting position but you would destroy your camera trying to climb rocks with it. You need a padded camera case for the climbing as you are describing. Most likely a backpack type so you are not banging the camera against the rocks all day.

Absolutely! My friend has one for both he & his wife & they use them up in the mountains to view wildlife & scenery!

yes and it also can be used for both still image photography and video. in addition it is good for walking in the woods, whereas it is not very heavy, however, it more than supports my Nikon D800 with a 300mm lens. I was hesitant but given the price, I was stunned when it arrived in it's own carrying case and it's construction. It's a no brainer but don't get me wrong, I'm not comparing it to a $200-$300 tripod but for now, I need to put more money towards lenses since I upgraded.
