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....

I think I just answered my own question... in the technical details it says:"Used for multiple sports, such as cycling, cross- country skiing, and windsurfing"

Absolutely! This is a great outdoor product for kids or anyone with the urge to climb.

Yes it can it is a super toy and my grand son loves it . I would caution you if he is a climber and to keep one eye on him in case he decides to climb, never a safe idea . item is sturdy and made very well.

Hand Climber, look into Long Wolf or Ol'Man sit n climb if you want those. Takes a bit longer and generally weighs a bit more but if Sit n Climb is what you want, come up with $400, you can get them with a coupon on here for about that.

No this rope is not for climbing. This is an all purpose rope ideal for many different camping and survival uses.

No its not you would need to look up a mountain board. Or a hamboard would work great cause u can buy paddles for it.

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'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 would say no if you have a climber. We used it before my son could walk to climb. If I used it now..my son is 18 months old.. Hed tear it to shreds!

Yes it can. That's exactly what I used it for. I had it on Benjamin trail np.

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!

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.

Will work very well over many types of terrain for the first few (3) uses. But it breaks quickly and with only 30 day return window....good luck

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

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.
