Climbing ropes are built to stretch. If you took a 15-20ft fall on a rope without any stretch (like with a steel cable) it would catch you just fine, but it would also snap your spine.
Newton's second law: Force equals mass times acceleration. If there is no stretch your (de)acceleration is very high, this results in forces that are very high.
My organs and bones don't like very high forces.

How does a mountain climber use his ropes?
Mountain climbers use different types of climbing ropes depending on the types of mountain they climb with. Expedition climbing like mount Everest for example has fixed ropes that are readily available for climbers.

Name the material used for making ropes for rock climbing?
First off, there are static and dynamic ropes. Static ropes do not stretch and are mostly used for rappelling, hauling, fixed lines, and probably some other stuff I do not know about. This is because none of these activities involve large forces - such as what would be created during a fall. Dynamic ropes stretch, and are the main type of rope used for rock climbing. This is because they stretch to absorb the shock of the climbing rope. In fact, if I remember correctly, some rock climbing ropes can stretch to as much as 30% more than it's original length. Dynamic ropes come in a wide range of diameters and can also be divided into three categories - single ropes, half ropes, and twin ropes. One would choose a certain diameter and type of rope based on the activity they plan on doing.
What materials did Nylon replaced?
Nylon replaced silk in the production of stockings and parachutes during World War II. It also replaced natural fibers such as cotton and wool in the manufacturing of clothing, ropes, and other materials.
What is the old material for climbing ropes?
Hemp. Climbing ropes were "borrowed" from the naval professions.
Why ropes made of nylon used in elevators and cranes?
Nylon fibre was strong, elastic and light. It was lustrous and easy to wash. So the ropes are made up of nylon. Parachutes also made up of nylon.
Which of the following polymers is found in stockings and ropes?
Nylon is the polymer that is commonly found in stockings and ropes due to its strength, elasticity, and durability.
What is the name of the rock climbing hooks used for securing ropes and gear while climbing?
The rock climbing hooks used for securing ropes and gear while climbing are called carabiners.
What has been used in such items as nets fabrics and ropes concrete or nylon?
