GJ climbing rope

[jacquesf]

I just bought this full length GJ climbing rope .
It is original German WWII climbing rope with a blue trace thread twisted into the strands. Rope was never unwound length is approximately about 55-60 meters and thickness is 9-10 mm . Any thoughts? Jacques

This is a first for me in my 12 years o the WAF. An item that no one knows about or have a comment on? J

I wait their response as well. This is a very interesting topic to me, but I really have no expertise to share.

Grüß Gott Jacques,

Looks like a good period climbing rope to me. There were a variety of ropes used with and without trace threads which ranged in color....blue, green, red. Nice whipping thread on the ends.

Bergheil und Horrido!

Patrick (Gran Sasso) helped me greatly to find this, I have been looking for one for my mannequin for a long time. The are pricey and hard to find. I am not planning to use the full length so if some are looking for about 30m let me know. J
