La longueur standard d'une corde d'escalade est de 45 m [...] on utilise aujourd'hui des cordes faites de fibres synthétiques de nylon ou de perlon avec une gaine externe (pour réduire les dommages du frottement) et une âme centrale [...] Les cordes de fibre synthétique ont une capacité d'élasticité, de résistance et de souplesse exceptionnelle et sont hydrofuges (donc ne gèlent pas). 3, record 1, French, - corde%20d%27escalade
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Les cordes d'escalade classiques sont dynamiques. Cela signifie qu'elles s'allongent sous la force d'un poids, absorbant ainsi l'impact de la chute d'un grimpeur et réduisant la force de choc qui pèse sur l'équipement de protection et le relais. 4, record 1, French, - corde%20d%27escalade
