the rock climbing stuff is designed to absorb serious shock loads, just what
you need should you fall against the jackline limit.

We're about to get new jacklines and a friend mentioned that I should
just buy 1" tubular webbing used for rock climbing instead of the west
marine jacklines. At $0.29 a foot it sure would be a lot cheaper.
Anyone know a good reason why the west marine jacklines would be any
better than this stuff:
