I went climbing the other day and was doing some top roping. One of the anchors that I set up ended up rubbing the rock and getting torn up. What I want to do is get about 50 feet of static rope, put tubular webbing around it and set up an anchor that way. Where is a good place to get cheap static rope in short lengths (50 feet or so)? I checked out gearexpress.com and they have some, but I was wondering of somewhere else where I could get some.

I get all my long pieces of static rope that I use for caving from them. They are a small company but will take care of you.

try your local climbing shop, normally they will have some static line near the runners and all that stuff, just have them cut it to the desired legnth
