Low Stretch Ropes

Low stretch ropes

Static and Semi-Static climbing ropes are used where falls from heights are impossible, and stretch is not advantageous or indeed should be avoided, such as in speleology, caving, canyoning or where fixed ropes are placed on expeditions or rescue operations. Depending on their usage these ropes have to be buoyant, very durable and resistant to water, have high abrasion resistance and be suitable for frequent abseiling and top-roping with ascenders.
