Bouldering is a style of rock climbing undertaken without a rope and normally limited to very short climbs over a crash pad ( called a bouldering mat ) so that a fall will not result in serious injury.

A rein may be attached to a halter to lead or guide the horse in a circle for training purposes or to lead a packhorse, but a simple lead rope is more often used for these purposes.

Because the handle is attached to the resistance source by rope or similarly flexible media, the trajectory of the hands in the vertical plane is free making it possible for the rower to emulate the hand height difference between the stroke and the return.

This can be mitigated by leaving plenty of rope at the working end outside of the knot, and by dressing the knot cleanly and tightening it as much as possible before loading.

One drawback to consider is that it is difficult to estimate how much rope is needed, which can lead to needlessly long working ends.

The second category was effected with one or more “ main ropes ” or “ honnawa ” which like the torinawa could be any one of many different lengths, but was a proper hemp rope, possibly six or more millimeters in diameter and as much as eighty feet long — which was used to provide a more secure, long-term binding than is possible with the torinawa for transportation to a place of incarceration, restraint at legal proceedings, and — in the case of particularly severe crimes — for the public display of the prisoner prior to execution by such methods as beheading, crucifixion ( i. e., the prisoner was displayed tied to a cross before spears were driven through the body ), or, in arson convictions, death by fire.

Instead of everyone falling the same standard distance, the person's height and weight were used to determine how much slack would be provided in the rope so that the distance dropped would be enough to ensure that the neck was broken, but not so much that the person was decapitated.

In particular, Japanese bondage is very much about the way the rope is applied and the pleasure is more in the journey than the destination.

Once upon the rim surface he attempted to dislodge Kerrebrock, who was still very much conscious, by pulling forcefully on the rope.

The purpose of the backup is to permit clearing the rope to ensure the safety of passengers ; it usually is much less powerful and is not used for normal operation.

Very low-stretch (< 1 %) rope materials, such as Vectran and Spectra, are used only rarely due to their much higher cost.

These researchers, instead, hold that the Spanish Notch has the much more mundane function as a tool for stripping sinew and repairing rope and nets, as a guide to assist in sharpening the blade ( assuring that the sharpening process starts at a specific point and not further up the edge ), or as a point to relieve stress on the blade during use.

) A fall of 20 feet is much more severe ( exerts more force on the climber and climbing equipment ) if it occurs with 10 feet of rope out ( i. e. the climber has placed no protection and falls from 10 feet above the belayer to 10 feet below — a factor 2 fall ) than if it occurs 100 feet above the belayer ( a fall factor of 0. 2 ), in which case the stretch of the rope more effectively cushions the fall.
