I had not considered the added stress to other components. Good point! Reading, the vast majority of my climbing falls into the catagory of static rope applications. You've seen the line I use on Deadliest Catch. It's tough and durable and I know well what to expext from it. I use it for other work related duties as well but after what you have said I think it prudent to spend the money on some good climbing rope for that specific application snd still use my ground line for most the climbing I do. It should last a long time that way. I'm a cheap guy but some of the places I have been hanging from has had me rethink the extra cost was not so much when considered from those heights. I get most my gear from REI. Would you trust them to steer me to the correct rope?
