Abstract
Ropes used for climbing are dynamic they are designed to stretch when fallen on, absorbing and dissipating the energy generated by the fall. Static ropes, such as those used in rescue work are designed with minimal stretch and should never be used for climbing. Although static and dynamic ropes look the same they are not interchangeable. Static ropes are not climbing ropes never use a static rope for climbing or any application where dynamic loads may be encountered.
