How to use dynamic ropes for rock climbing

Dynamic ropes are an important part of a rock climber's safety equipment. Dynamic ropes stretch in order to dampen a climber's fall. Learn how to use dynamic ropes in this climbing video tutorial. Take action: dynamic ropes stretch or elongate to dampen falls, dynamic ropes have higher impact force, record the number of falls using each rope, and consult your local outdoor specialty store.
