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....

It could be used as a stand. The stand and clamp seem plenty strong for that. The top of the stand will be several inches from the wall, which would allow for clearance of handlebars if the stand were placed against the wall.

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.

Hello, We have talked to the manufacturer and they indicate YES, you can use it for a climbing tree stand. We hope this was helpful WorldGoodsCorp

Yes, dont buy if you will attach it to road bike or mountain bike. I returned mine after my phone damage, does not secure, get the bm works

It could definitely be used for skiing both with the head strap/helmet mount or the chesty mount as done by most of the team athletes. If you go any lower where it will be constantly exposed to the snow like on a ski or the side of a boot, you would want to keep it dry so the waterproof housing would be a better choice. Depends ultimately on whether or not it will be getting wet.

thank you for responding! i searched the user product reviews for "wall" and found a few others who ended up mounting it to the wall, so i'm seriously considering it now. it is much cheaper to buy this at the discounted price and mount it to the wall then to buy a bunch of the sky climbers that are made to be mounted to the wall.

This will work fine for mountain biking. A cell signal is not required - the GPS signal comes from satellites, not cell towers.

I didn't purchase it to climb with, I use it to bring down hay bales from the top of an 88 bale stack. And, it did not fare well ... the hook arms need to be welded solid, they broke loose for us and my nephew was going to have them welded before using it again. Boy, depending on it with full body weigh (bales average 110-125 lbs) I don't know if I would depend upon this piece of equipment!

No. It is a too small bag. Use stainless steel or steel carabiner to a full body harness. Do not use aluminiom It breaks. Always use steel, or die. Most mountian climbers die doing it. Be safe. If you are too weak to use steel, do not do it. I knew people who almost died, because the gear they used was not steel. Be strong, use steel, or die, 50/50 odds. this bag is strong, but way to small for most ropes.

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.

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'd fare well using spikes suitable to the terrain; the larger spikes are good for stability in rugged conditions.

Its Dynamic. You Wouldn't use a static rope for climbing and i dont think anyone would sell someone a static rope for climbing, as it i advertised a climbers package

Yes if you have the certain skill. I've had mine for about half a year and I use it to climb this one tree. Consider sharpening the edges so that it can get a better grip. Also this grappling hook twists around so use some tape.

It's lightweight so it's good for point and shoots, cell phones, and the GoPro but if you are going to use it with a DSLR you might want something a little beefier. Maybe more like this one: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-WT1003-67-Inch-Monopod/dp/B00FAYL1YU/

I have only used for running and hiking. However, my understanding is that it would give you speed but not pace. there would be a settings change needed for this. Similar to the cycling mode.
