Very good thickness at almost exactly 8mm and is useful for many climbing and other applications. Has a very good amount of friction and resists abrasion perfectly. Very easy to use and tie knots with. Review: Good static rope for hauling gear - I am reviewing the 8mm static rope. It’s good static rope for hauling gear. You should not use static rope for lead climbing or top roping. I would not use this static rope for tree climbing either. I have purchased other cheap ropes online, and other ropes that I purchased tend to bunch or twist easily. This does not bunch or twist. I can tie knots in it, and they feel secure when properly dressed. I used to use this with pulleys to hoist and suspend a heavy (maybe 100lb) cargo bike from my garage ceiling at my old condo where i had a very high ceiling in my garage and little space. I now use it mostly to hoist equipment up to my roof from a balcony when i clean my gutters. I do not use it to secure myself on my roofβ€” i use a 9.5mm dynamic climbing rope for that. But this one is good for hoisting my battery shop vac or leaf blower up to the roof. Again, it keeps its shape, it coils pretty easily, it does not twist or bunch. It’s quality rope for its size and for static, non-human loads. ## Features - GM CLIMBING Double Braid Accessory Cord is in particular designated for outdoor recreation activities, like making prusik loop, lanyard, ice threads for climbing, arborist, mountaineering, caving, and etc. - Supple in handling, flexible and easy to tie knots. - High Abrasion Resistance!

In PPE category, it belongs to accessory cord.Dynamic and static, they are words of definition for life support cord, describing elongation and elasticity of rope.Never use it as life support cord, like when you use it for climbing, rappelling, belaying, arborist. It is dangerous.If we need to definite whether this 8mm accessory cord is "dynamic" or "static", it is "static".Its elongation at break is 12%.Glad to help with question.If you and your friends need more information, please feel free to ask. MasonGM CLIMBING **Q: I bought 2 packs, mainly for prusik's but if i had to could i use this line to rappel?** A: I've used it for that purpose, doubled up and both going through atc channels. Single it's not really enough friction unless super muntered or via a massive rescue 8. I wouldn't pick this for rappelling but it's standard issue for my mountain rescue team as our personal gear. For real loads we use real rope but because I always have this I've gotten creative with it once or twice (no patients hang on this, ever). **Q: is this safe to use and leave outside on a tire swing?** A: You will notice that cities and public facilities do not use rope for swings. That says it all. Do not do it with this small rope. The rope is not the issue, it is the use. This is excellent rope. Rope left outside deteriorates much faster than rope that is not. This is small rope to begin with, that makes it even more treacherous to use - Especially for a tire swing where kids will push the limits to see how high they can go! **Q: I need shorter ropes. Is it easy to cut the rope in half?** A: Yes definitely. There are good instructional YouTube videos but the basic concept is that you should use athletic tape to tightly wrap the 1” area you plan to cut through while providing tension on the rope. Then take a sharp knife and cut through the middle of the tape. Then before you remove the tape make sure to melt the cut ends with a lighter to ensure the rope will not fray. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great accessory cord for the price *by J***. on February 28, 2026* Great accessory cord and the perfect size for making a prusik loop or valdotain-tresse knot.
