Semi-static rope for climbing, rappelling or setting up a fixed rope with low elongation. Not suitable for handling falls during climbing.
Recommendations for use with your ascender
Unlike "static" ropes with no elongation, semi-static ropes have a low elongation coefficient: not enough to absorb a fall, but enough to cushion violent shocks to the anchor and user in the event of a small slip.
Why can't it handle falls during climbing?
Semi-static ropes have low elongation, insufficient to absorb the force of a fall. If used to stop a fall during climbing, they would transmit a strong impact to both the climber and the anchor, endangering the safety and well-being of those involved. This limited elongation is precisely the benefit of a semi-static rope: it allows the user to climb or work at height without the rope swinging.
