Stiff new rope....!!!

Petroclimbsagain wrote: You could always set up a top-rope, and test to see if the rope is dynamic or not.  A new dynamic 60 M rope will stretch ~3-4 M when loaded with body-weight.  

Thats a whole lot more helpful than your poor hard to understand. . . .humor?( if that was what that  comment was), 

 but

 it seems to me that the rope is a strange weave, not sure that it is in any way 'dynamic,

&

 I doubt it has any value in absorbing/dissipating  the energy  (thru elasticity) generated in a lead fall.

No amount of my trying to explain this will effect those here on this site, it is the divide of iprivilege then of arrogance that seperates 1st world & all the rest of the world, but. . .  

That rope is maybe ok for climbing with. But your thoughts of finding used expedition gear is a better call, look for a smooth and continuous feel, no flat spots fuzzy sheaths that have been used to haul, drag or cross streams are hard to judge, so should be cheapest

  on another note, the stooges on here,  who are mostly the affulent entitled, with computers and yearly incomes are spoiled un-worldly and completely out of line on this thread.

I have already pointed this thread out to a German friend, His comment was that you need to get in touch with the expedition outfitters in your country.
Try to offer to help(in any way you can, offer to house a sick -ish or slow from altitude  climber)) in exchange for anything.  The tourist/climbers, they,( I included) always liked to travel light and pass on ropes & gear to locals.

gotta go Ill be back

i just bought this rope and its going to take some time saving enough money to buy another one....!!!!  can i use this one for climbs where there is no chance for free fall? just for safety... where slope level is like 60-70 degrees? I'll surely try to find a proper rope meanwhile

Well? the ideal circumstance , a clear good weather day, when things like rock fall /avalanche danger is low, & if the objective is well within reason, then yes, As I was trying to explain. The use of old (discarded by an expedition style group)  dedicated -proper made by a reputable climbing gear manufacturer,  would be as good, &  better if anything were to suddenly require any sort of dynamic, (stretchy to absorb force), so to not rip protection, if that makes sense to your use? 

most snow ice rock, alpine ascents will expose you to risk, your skill as a climber is your best safety gear, given the questionable quality, the old way is the best way to proceed

The Leader MUST NOT FALL.

always be in control :able to down climb, retreat safely.

I don't know where specifically you are in Pakistan but maybe you could find somebody who's going there to climb, and see if they would bring a rope out for you?

Don't know if these organizations are still in existence, but they seem like somewhere for you to check out.

Aanif, I saw this and hope it helps Good luck I'll see if I can find an Old "New" still in it plastic packaging & a factory coil, (which is bad)
 but the experts here will chime in about that if you get one then you can worry about it.
