Re: Velcro on rope?
So wed be using webbing to follow along with the rule we can melt the bottom edge to avoid fraying and we would have to be 4 inch up from that to be competition legal?

Re: Velcro on rope?
When I am mean 4 inches above that would be the start of the hook and loop sewn onto the webbing

But, my interpretation is the velcro should be able to extend all the way to the end of the rope. Here is why I think that: In the answer to Question 184, they emphasize "may be": "except for the last 4 in. (~10 cm) of any cut end (E) which may be whipped [...]" So, you certainly do not have to whip / fuse the end. If you do not whip, then the entire rope - all the way to the end - just has to meet the definition of rope. And since velcro (at least, certain types of velcro) has been ruled as being rope, I see no reason that said velcro could not extend to the end of said rope. :rolleyes: |

For those who have not seen it on the other velcro thread, here is a video of 1257's climber concept. The hook side of velcro grabs fibrous rope very easily. This means that the whole rope can be grippy.

Loop Velcro on Rope
Hi all,
As we all starting on our attempt of climbing the rope, our team has some questions regarding the appropriate materials for our rope. Is a loop Velcro glued/stitched onto the middle of another rope legal? |

Look to the Q & A for the definitive answer. The answer has evolved from week 1 until now.
