RE: 550 parracord for climbing?

Please don't get your climbing and abseil ropes mixed up, it could kill you. You can abseil on a climbing rope but not climb on an abseil rope. I'd recommend a scrambling rope. They are usually 30m of 8.5mm dynamic rope so cover all bases.

If you have a riggers belt / CQB belt you only need a 120cm sewn sling for improvised leg loops and a HMS locking karabiner to be fully kitted out for abseil.(using italian hitch) My 30m scrambling rope weighs less than 1.5kgs. Sling and biner take up no room and should already have gloves on you. sorted!
