Yeah I wouldn't even call that rope. Cord, perhaps, but it seems too thin to be called rope.
Modern climbing ropes are still less than 10lbs at four times the length. Not sure how the density compares, but it's not 4 times denser either.
Modern climbing ropes are rated for much heavier than 800lb as well. Iirc the ones I used in school were rated for a couple thousand pounds.
Nylon is a hell of a drug
Nylon isn’t even the best polymer we have for rope making :p
Oh my comment had 0 research put into it but if you have fun chemistry/climbing facts feel free to sound off
