Climbing Lines
Climbing lines should not be used as lowering lines, come-along ropes or bull ropes.
These constructions are designed for maximum flexibility and excellent handling qualities when used in climbing applications.
These design characteristics are not necessarily suitable with lowering operations.
This is especially important if the rope has already been retired from climbing services.
Other types of ropes specifically designed for lowering and come-along operations should be used for these types of applications.
