Question
I am looking for paracords for minor climbing and emergency situation. So I saw this website, http://www.gorillaparacord.com/550-Paracord-Mil-Spec-Type-III-7-Strand_p_8.html#. It said that it can handle 550lb. Is it possible? Thx

Answer
J,

I have no knowledge about the capabilities of paracord. UAIA tested climbing ropes and accessory cords are widely available (REI is most obvious) and I suggest acquiring and using them if anybody's life depends on their proven strength.
