A Tough Job—A Tougher Rope The last case swings up from the hold just as safely and securely as the first, for Columbian slings are gluttons for punishment. The sharp edges of the heavy box take their toll on any rope, but Columbian has a tenacious, wear-resisting quality built into it that enables it to successfully withstand much severe punishment.
