please explain how a fall factor can be 2.3????? that shows how much can be learnt in forums generally. basically its never gonna be the knot that breaks. gear pops, ropes cut and your spine breaks before the rope snaps. if anyone can tell me about a rope breaking im all ears, ive never heard of it. and i mean breaking, not cutting! the only examples i can think of are due to chemical interference.
Disclaimer: im not an idiot that thinks my rope is invinceable! i think people get too caught up in numbers. learning things about keeping ropes away from sharp edges, re-belaying, rope care etc etc is more important! |
