Shouldn’t this rope be fine??

[tider]

I ordered some rope for a lone wolf rope mod. 8mm static rope....I thought

Once I got it , I realized it’s a 8mm paracord. It says it has a tensile strength of 3000 lbs and is good for towing and lots of other outdoor activities.

Think I’m gonna go with it unless anyone thinks differently

Thanks

I think it depends on how stretchy it is. Regular paracord is stretchy. I know this is stronger , hopefully it works out for you.

I personally would not want to use anything that was not climbing rated, but that is just me. I am sure that some other ropes work just fine.

Not worth the few dollars you would save. Good luck!

exactly not worth the risk just to save a few bucks (dollars...not deer)

Anything less than 6k rating I would feel like I was gambling with my life. I want u to live my friend so I would pay the difference myself for u!!

If it's not too stretchy I might use it for climbing stick ropes.

8 mil rated for 3000 lb I would use it, but that's just me. Assuming you're not anywhere close to a 3000 pound man or even a thousand pound man for that matter.

OP is asking about climbing stick rope,mod, not lifeline, tether, or climbing line.

For what it's worth, I've been using 1/4" double braid line with a 2400 lb rating on my sticks for 3 years.

My opinion is yes, the 8mm 3000 lb rope is fine FOR CLIMBING STICK ROPE MOD.

Yeah, I didn’t realize what it was until I got it. I just saw it was 8mm rope and the 3000 lb tensile strength in the description and thought it said it was static rope.

I have been on the rope rescue team at work for 20+ years and I definitely would not use this for tether, rappelling , etc..

Thanks for the replies, the rope doesn’t have any stretch , so I think aim gonna go with it. It was an accidental purchase , but I think it is going to be fine for the application I’m going to use it for.

If I Have any issues with it , I’ll report back.

Thanks.

if it is static, it by definition does not stretch...
If it is rated for 3K lbs, you will b fine.

 

[Ctclimberguy42]

"Standard" anchor line for rock climbing is 7 or 8mm and under 3000lbs. You will be fine .

I believe they are 17" leverage sticks and aren't made anymore. I bought a set for my son from a member here this summer.

I was just pointing out that the weight rating would be sufficient.

I use 8mm accessory cord, and it works just fine. The way I see it, it may not be "climbing rated" but it also is not likely your only lifeline if you are using a lineman's belt. I have aiders on my sticks, and I bet 1" tube webbing is not climbing rated either. Check the ropes couple times a year for any damage, should be good.

1" tubular webbing should be climbing rated or you shouldn't be using it. Just checked the stuff I bought off Amazon it is rated at 4900#.

Yes, as was stated they are Leverage 5252 sticks that are no longer made. With the rope mod they weigh 1lb 11oz (8ft 1/4 braid rope). 17" between steps.
