Vertical caving terminology and methods > Fixed aids
A rope that is left in situ on a traverse, pitch or climb at all times, so that you do not need to bring your own rope to rig the pitch. This might be a fixed aid, but it might also be a piece of tat. Fixed handlines may be made from nylon or natural fibre hawser laid ropes.
