Understand the Drawbacks of Using Static Lines When Climbing

Video Transcript

Hi! My name is Brandon. I'm with expertvillage.com, and today I”m going to show you how to rock climb. Another type of rope here is called a static line. Static lines have more abrasive resistance than dynamic rope. Static ropes are designed not to absorb any impact of the fall, and they're very rough if you fall on them. The static lines in this facility are on the easier walls because of the high traffic volume of the climbers that climb them. A static line, as we mentioned before in the bouldering cave, is a solid movement. These lines, they don't stretch at all. They're designed to strictly hold the person in place. If you fall on a static line, typically it's going to be a lot more jolted than on the dynamic lines. Buying a dynamic line over a static line will guarantee when you climb on your own you don't jolted when you fall.
