2 жыл бұрынIn this video we break test a 16 year old Yale 16 strand 1/2 inch climbing line. This rope has been hanging in a Douglas Fir tree for over 10 years. With a breaking strength of 6200lb how strong will a 16 year old rope be?
2:17 - 4827lb

A lot stronger than I would have guessed. It was in a tree for 10 years, but probably not much sunlight eh? I think it's the UV that does most of the damage. Excellent break test video. - Patrick

That is super interesting. Definitely broke higher than I would have dared to bet. Thank you.

Wow, that broke way higher than I thought. Impressive stuff. Our industry needs more break videos. We could especially benefit from seeing how worn gear breaks. New rope doesn't stay new very long.
